I. GENERAL CONCEPT OF THE COURSE

A graduate from a University Technology Institute’s Mechanical and Production Engineering (MAP)
department is a mechanical engineer, with a solid background in mechanics.

The Mechanical and Production Engineering departments were created in 1967. A number of
representative surveys conducted among holders of a DUT in Mechanical and Production
Engineering and employers show that:
•(cid:1) Graduates have entered particularly varied professions in a wide range of activity sectors,
•(cid:1) They have had to adapt quickly and efficiently to their chosen profession,
•(cid:1) In most cases, they have evolved towards senior positions,
•(cid:1) A significant number of them continued their studies immediately after obtaining their DUT,
•(cid:1) A very large majority of them have attended training courses throughout their career in
order to follow technological innovations and changes and to evolve in their career.

Based on these findings and forthcoming changes, it has seemed appropriate to structure the course
around “professional competencies” and to set up four Course Units that each meets a specific
general objective.
Technical competencies must necessarily be based on solid scientific foundations. Course Unit 1
(CU 1) develops a range of scientific tools necessary for the acquisition of technical competencies.
Furthermore, CU 1 also aims to train students in structured and methodical reasoning. Teaching
practices must develop analytical and conceptual minds with the aim of developing adaptation skills.
Course Unit 2 (CU 2) groups the technical courses covering professional competencies.
Course Unit 3 (CU 3) groups courses allowing the student to understand the industrial world and its
environment. These courses develop the concepts of integration in the working environment.
Furthermore, they also develop a sense of communication and organisation in the managerial sense.
Course Unit 4 (CU 4) provides progressive simulation opportunities as close as possible to industrial
reality. It includes a range of synthesis activities involving all acquired competencies and develops
the student’s sense of independence in a corporate environment via an industrial work placement.

Within the LMD (Bachelors, Masters, PhD) framework, the DUT in Mechanical and Production
Engineering has been organised into semesters and structured in Course Units and modules.

II. PURPOSE OF THE COURSE

The holder of a DUT in Mechanical and Production Engineering (MAP) is a mechanical generalist. His
technical, scientific, economic and human sciences education allows him to:
•(cid:1) Exercise his activity in any economic sector (aeronautics, cars, household appliances, sport
and leisure, transport, the environment, energetics...),
•(cid:1) Work together with the various company players,
•(cid:1) Contribute to the competitiveness of companies in all of the stages of a product’s life by
optimising the technical, scientific, economic and human choices and integrating the
quality, maintenance and safety requirements,
•(cid:1) Pursue his career path based on his Personal and Professional Project.

The holder of a DUT in the speciality of Mechanical and Production Engineering is able to
participate in the stages leading from the expression of need to the product itself:
• Analysing,
• Modelling,
• Designing,
• Organising and communicating,
• Producing,
• Validating.
His training allows him to conduct technological watch and innovative solution research activities.

•(cid:1) Quality assurance and control,
•(cid:1) Tests, R&D (research and development),
• Research laboratories,
•(cid:1) Purchasing, sales and after-sales...

III. CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.

Candidates meeting the conditions defined in the 12 November 1984 decree on University
Technology Institutes may be admitted for full-time education on the admission committee’s
recommendation. Candidates involved or not in working life may be admitted for continuing
education on the admission committee’s recommendation, after validation of their studies and
professional and/or personal experience.

IV. DIPLOMA.

The DUT (University Technology Diploma) in Mechanical and Production Engineering is a national
diploma worth 120 ECTS credits or 30 credits for each validated semester. A certain flexibility
remains possible with regard to adaptation to the environment, on the University Technology
Institute’s initiative and on the advice of the University Technology Institute Committee and the
Studies and Academic Life Committee. This adaptation to the economic environment, calculated and
based on a total hour requirement of 1800 hours, must however not exceed 10% in volume for initial
education and 20% for continuing education.

The modalities for assessment of knowledge and skills are determined in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the decree on university technology diplomas within the “European Higher
Education Area”.

V. ORGANISATION OF STUDIES.

The DUT is a four-semester course.

The individual courses are grouped in 4 Course Units consisting of several modules for each of the
semesters.

A module is characterised by:
1. A definition indicating the spirit in which the course must be approached,
2. An hour requirement broken down into lectures / tutorials / practicals,
3. Specific objectives expressed in terms of competencies. For each objective, the level to be
attained is indicated on an “informing, understanding, mastering” scale.
• At the “informing” level, the student must know about the existence of a scientific tool, the
general principles of a method and the general characteristics of a process or procedure.
He must also be able to find complementary information that he may need.
• At the “understanding” level, the student must know the relevant terms, language and
physical principles. He must also be able to dialogue with a specialist in the field.
• At the “mastering” level, the student must know how to choose and use the necessary
tools, solve problems and implement a method and a process. He must be able to
analyse an experience and a process using scientific data or technical elements. He must
also be able to analyse, provide critical appraisal and propose solutions or improvements.

4. Pre-requisites, i.e. knowledge and know-how necessary in order to benefit from the module in
question,
5. Contents (or programme) indicating the topics dealt with,
6. Teaching recommendations,
7. Resource materials, necessary software, recommended documents and Web sites.

The course summaries describe the professional objectives to be achieved and define the
module programmes
(cf. example of course summary provided in the appendix).

Recommendations:
Know-how is assessed and validated based on observable performances. These performances
include those demonstrated during the activities that a student must have successfully completed in
order to be considered as having acquired the module-specific competencies (to the degree
specified in the level scale).

The concept of “supplier modules / customer modules” must be the underlying theme of the course:
module transversality and collaborative work between academic staff must guarantee
coherence of the Mechanical and Production Engineering course. Certain courses are therefore
common to two modules.

Each course summary does not necessarily refer to a single module. In this case, the course unit
may be taught by lecturers/tutors from different specialities who must ensure course coherence.

VI. COURSE TEACHING.

There are no options available in the Mechanical and Production Engineering specialisation.
A maximum of 10% of the course’s total hour requirement (1800 hours) may be devoted to
adaptation to the environment (if necessary), especially in relation to the local industry.

The National Educational Programme is comprised of core competencies representing 85% of the total
contact hour requirement and a range of differentiated modules representing 15% of the total hour
requirement that are chosen according to the student’s Personal and Professional Project.

The course path leading to a DUT consists of a major guaranteeing the DUT core competencies, and
complementary modules. The complementary modules are intended to complete the student’s course
path, whether he favours professional integration or intends to continue his studies with other higher
education courses.

For students continuing their studies, the complementary modules are aimed at the continuation of
studies to certification level 2 or certification level 1. In either case, the required complementary skills
concern development of technological knowledge, consolidation of professional competencies and
scientific opening.

Whatever course track the student chooses, the complementary modules are an integral part of the
university technology diploma.

Complementary modules intended to favour further studies are proposed to students who are able and
wish to follow them as part of adaptation of their course path to their personal and professional project.
Designed by University Technology Institutes (IUTs) based on the recommendations of national
educational commissions, they present the same characteristics in terms of hour requirements and
continuous assessment coefficients as modules aimed at immediate professional integration.

The diploma awarded at the end of the 4 semesters will be a DUT in Mechanical and Production
Engineering, whatever the student’s orientation.

N.B.:
- The course summaries are identified by a number (e.g. F111). The first number corresponds to the
semester, the second to the Course Unit and the third is an index within the module.
- In certain cases, this number is assigned a numerical index (e.g. F413.1 and F413.2). This
identification means that the F413 course summary is common to two modules (e.g. F413.1 deals
with a part of the problems in their Strain and stress aspects and F413.2 deals with the same
problems in their Mechanics aspects). This numbering thus highlights the complementarity of the
course units and their transversal and multidisciplinary aspects.
- In certain cases, the course summary identification numbers are assigned a letter index
(e.g. F412a and F412b). This identification means that a part of the course (part “a”) belongs to the
core competencies and the other part (“part “b”) is available for any adaptations that may be useful
for course tracks aimed at direct professional integration.

B. Student integration in Mechanical and Production Engineering departments.

In Semester 1, an adaptation module allows academic staff to take account of the presence of
students from various Baccalauréat series. It provides scientific Baccalauréat holders with basic
technical knowledge and consolidates the scientific knowledge of technological Baccalauréat holders. It
aims to reduce the failure rate that could be observed in the first weeks of the course.

C. The Personal and Professional Project

In Semester 1, a specific module allows the student to discover various professions from the
manufacturing sector with a view to elaborating his Personal and Professional Project. He must be
able to differentiate the moral, intellectual, social and economic characteristics specific to the listed
professions. He must also know the supply and demand for these professions and their probable
evolution. He must know in particular the professions that he can access:
•(cid:1) After obtaining a DUT in Mechanical and Production Engineering,
•(cid:1) After pursuing level 2 studies,
•(cid:1) After pursuing level 1 studies.

In Semester 2, a specific module allows the student to make use of self-assessment tools and
methods to analyse his personal characteristics; he must be able to check his appropriateness for the
considered profession with the help of an academic tutor. After this analysis, he can elaborate his
Personal and Professional Project with the help of the tutor so that he can choose one of the
proposed course tracks at the end of Semester 2.

D. Learning Differently.

Sociological, technical and technological developments lead the Mechanical and Production
Engineering departments to integrate the corresponding adaptation needs into teaching relations.

In order to lead students towards greater independence in both their immediate professional activity
and their adaptation skills, academic staff is devoted to providing them with methods for: working time
management, choosing priorities, simultaneous management of several tasks, personal learning,
schedule preparation, project management...

Regarding more particularly personal learning methods, Information and Communication
Technologies for Teaching (ICTT) are widely used for “traditional” courses and extension courses. In
each module, academic staff provides students with access to the various available resources:
educational software, tutorials, on-line component research and calculation... allow students to
complete their knowledge with a view to attaining periodically-defined, adjusted and regularly-
controlled objectives.

As an example, you can consult the course summaries for each module, an example of which is
provided in the appendix.

Generally speaking, the teaching methods must encourage students to undertake individual work,
especially:
•(cid:1) During projects,
•(cid:1) By encouraging personal research using modern media,
•(cid:1) By favouring and developing the use of public-access rooms for access to on-line
courses, etc.
•(cid:1) By establishing partnerships with software providers in order to make available to
each student a personal right of use allowing them to work in complete
independence.

E. Professional Integration

In Semester 3, professional integration is addressed in the Communication module. This course can
be directly applied to personal research for a work placement, which must precede job research (CV,
initial contact, interview).

F. Training In and By The Company.

Training takes two forms:
•(cid:1) Tutored projects. It is strongly recommended that the topics of Semester 3 and 4 projects
are provided by the companies. The group of students in charge of a product must apply
the analysis, collective organisation and meeting coordination methods to concrete
industrial cases. The projects are thus supervised and assessed jointly by an industrial
tutor and an academic tutor. The choice of projects is of particular importance: the
selected projects must not be too ambitious to be completed successfully but must
however be a real synthesis of the courses offered.
•(cid:1) The industrial work placement. It must be the most valued way of discovering the business
world and its realities. The company chosen by the student for his work placement is
checked so that the work placement is also a source of complementary training and
improvement.

G. Practical Information.

The tutorials are organised in groups of a maximum of 26 students.

The size of groups for practicals is half that of tutorial groups. However, certain practicals may
involve smaller groups (8) for safety reasons (especially in production).

VII. COURSE OBJECTIVES

A. Course Unit 1 (CU 1)

Module: Mathematics and Statistics:

The Mechanical and Production Engineering mathematics programme effectively implements
mathematical tools in order to attain the competencies required in the User modules. Its main
objective is therefore to provide the student with mastery of mathematical tools useful in his
technical and scientific education.
The mathematics programme is also an important element of general knowledge and must allow
the development of logical and rigorous reasoning.

S1 F111 Derivatives and Differentials
S1 F115 Statistics and Probabilities
S2 F211 Integral calculus
S2 F212 Functions with several variables
S3 F311 Matrix calculus
S4 F411 Curves

Module: Strain and stress (SD):

Students with a DUT in Mechanical and Production Engineering can work in any economic
sector; at the end of the second year, their acquired competencies allow them to:
•(cid:1) Understand and perform dimensioning or rigidity or strength control calculations,
•(cid:1) Perform deformation measurements (linear elasticity problems in statics),
•(cid:1) Perform calculations in a company:
o In the research department: they will be simple and processed analytically or
with the help of computer-based utilities for more complex cases,
o In the calculations department: static analysis of linear elasticity on
classical codes,
o For a part or a simple structure: numerical and experimental methods for determining
stresses (with a critical approach to modelling) and results.
Strain and stress is not only based on this module and takes account of other factors such as
implementation, design technology; the importance of economics in the choice of materials,
products and technologies... It is therefore essential that a connection is made between the courses
in the various supplier modules (materials...) and the customer modules (design, implementation...).
Mechanical Engineering in Product Design will have a federative role in this context.

S2 F213 Simple stresses: twisting and bending
S3 F312 States of stress and composite stresses
S4 F412a Energy methods and finite element modelling
and b
S4 F413.1 Research department: mechanical dimensioning aspect

Module: Mechanics:

Students with a DUT in Mechanical and Production Engineering can work in any economic
sector. At the end of their second year, their acquired competencies allow them to:
•(cid:1) Develop a structured approach and a solving strategy adapted to the case in hand,
•(cid:1) Understand and perform mechanical calculations in preparation for system
verification or dimensioning problems,
•(cid:1) Perform these calculations in a company, particularly in the research department:
they will be simple and processed graphically, analytically or with the help of
computer-based utilities for more complex cases,
•(cid:1) Use mechanical simulation software in a structured way.

Module: Material Sciences (MS):

Students with a DUT in Mechanical and Production Engineering can work in any economic
sector. At the end of their second year, their acquired competencies allow them to:
•(cid:1) Know the main properties and characteristics useful for choosing and implementing
materials,
•(cid:1) Understand the behaviour of materials, distinguish the various classes and their
designations,
•(cid:1) Situate iron alloys and light alloys in relation to the transformations that control their
microstructures, their elastic and breaking behaviour as well as their adaptation to the
implementation conditions,
•(cid:1) Widen the choice of materials (metal alloys, plastics, composites...) for product design,
based on a panoramic view of materials. They will have to make a choice based on the
materials’ technical and economic properties and their shaping processes.
•(cid:1) Define “materials” specifications from which they can select adapted materials.

As the choice of materials takes account of various factors (implementation, mechanical
engineering in product design, costs...), a necessary connection will be made with the
corresponding modules.
