Specialized Master in Products and Processes for the Concrete Industry

The Specialized Master in Products and Processes for the Concrete Industry combines engineering, technology and creativity to train experts in industrial civil engineering. The program offers the opportunity to explore the practical aspects of concrete production and the latest technological advances.

This program is the result of an ongoing commitment by our “Materials and Processes” Research and Innovation Teaching Center to the field of construction materials.

 

  • Close collaboration with the concrete industry through a research chair (Chaire CIRVAL)
  • An interdisciplinary program to develop skills in materials science, concrete technology, project management and sustainability.
  • Lecturers who are experts in their field of concrete, their in-depth knowledge, experience and network make them reference guides throughout the course.
  • A project-based teaching approach that emphasizes learning through involvement and management of real projects.

Skills

  • Master the characteristics, properties and advanced formulation and manufacturing techniques of concrete materials.
  • Design sustainable concrete structures that resist environmental constraints with minimal ecological impact. Analyze the performance of concrete structures. Explore opportunities offered by new innovative concrete materials.
  • Implement quality control procedures to guarantee the reliability of concrete materials and structures. Be familiar with international standards and regulations (EUROCODES) applicable to the concrete industry.
  • Manage projects applied to the concrete industry, manage planning, respect the budget and monitor the execution of construction projects.

These skills will prepare you to meet the complex challenges of the concrete industry in-house or within organizations involved in the construction and production of high-quality concrete materials.

A professional project is prepared as part of an in-company assignment in the form of a professional thesis.

This represents a privileged means of acquiring knowledge and training through research. The topic addressed must correspond to a real concern in the company’s needs, and be based on the body of research in the field.

The professional thesis is defended before a jury at the end of the course. The professional thesis and the in-company assignment correspond to 30 ECTS credits.
