MSc-AMA

Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics

National Master Degree Accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education

Aims
The Master of Science in aerospace mechanics and avionics is a two-year course of study that allows students to develop a high level of competence in engineering science, current technology, and engineering design related to aeronautics and space. It aims at preparing students for careers in the aerospace industry in Europe and worldwide. The program consists of a total of 4 semesters of 30 ECTS each, ie 120 ECTS credits for the whole program. The MSc AMA starts with a first semester emphazing aerospace mechanics or control and avionics to prepare students to the majors to be selected for semester two and three: aerodynamics & fluid mechanics, structures & aeronautical engineering or command & control. Students have strong opportunities to develop practical skills through research projects in ISAEs laboratories and professional thesis during internships in aerospace industry.

Head of program major Helicopter engineering Prof. Frdric LACHAUD E-mail: [email protected] Duration of studies: Two year full time Beginning of classes: September Location: ISAE, Campus SUPAERO and campus ENSICA for some courses Teaching language: English, except major Advanced Fluid Engineering during semester 3 taught in French, students selecting these courses must be proficient in French.

Pedagogical approach
The ISAE Masters programs are designed with a combination of lectures, personal project and assignments and thesis projects to be performed in industrial environment or in ISAEs laboratories. They are taught in English. Compliant with European higher education system, the MSc AMA is a two-year program with a total of 120 ECTS credits. The MSc AMA program includes three-semester academic session, in ISAEs premises, provided by permanent professors and experts from aerospace industry bringing current knowledge and experience, including: lectures, tutorials, case study, personal project in laboratory and industrial visits. The last semester consists in performing professional thesis in a firm or a laboratory in the aerospace sector. After the project, students having obtained 120 credits under examination will be awarded the Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics from ISAE.

HUAN Qianjiao, China, MSc AMA Graduated in 2010 After I got my bachelor degree at BUAA (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Aerospace), I heard that there is an opportunity of the AIRBUS scholarship program to study the Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics at ISAE. As ISAE is the best European school for aeronautics, Im very grateful for AIRBUS and ISAE gave me this opportunity to make my dream come true. During the two years at ISAE, we had classes not only in technologies but also in lots of other domains, such as management, language and culture. More than half of the classes are given by professors who are come from the industrial companies, AIRBUS, CNES, ONERA, EUROCOPTER, etc. We learnt the knowledge by a more professional way with helps a lot in our future career. The internship which took place at the last semester gives us a great opportunity to link what we have learnt at school to what we are going to do as a job in the future. For me, I have performed a six months internship at AIRBUS France which is a precious chance to me and leads me to my future career. After this internship, I was recruited by SOGETI High Tech which is a subcontractor of AIRBUS and Im working now on some projects of structure calculation on the AIRBUS family aircrafts. More over, this two years mater is an international program with students coming from all over the word. Here, we got the chance to know the different cultures and ways of thinking in different countries and we made great friendship which we will never forget. Semester 2: 30 credits Common part (320 h) Foreign languages - European cultures and Research Project in ISAEs laboratories (250 h) Students have to select one major among: Major 1: Design - aerodynamics & aerothermics - 120 h Softwares for computational fluid dynamics Acoustics Flight characteristics Experimental approach in fluid mechanics Major 2: Aircraft control - 119 h Control implementation Flight characteristics- Aircraft control - guidance Navigation Major 3: Aeronautical structures -120 h Materials for airframes Calculating structures - Dimensioning structures Design project Semester 3: 30 credits Common part - 150 h Foreign languages Research Project in ISAEs laboratories (100 h) Students have to select one major among: Major 1: Advanced Fluid Engineering - 197 h Turbomachinery Aeroelasticity Turbomachinery 1: Advanced
