Master in electrification and automotive propulsion




by Christophe » 16/06/10, 09:13

The new Master in "Vehicles and Sustainable Transport" comprising the specialty "Electrification and Automotive Propulsion (EPA)", created by the ENS de Cachan, Centrale Paris, SUPELEC and the IFP School, has just obtained authorization from the Ministry of research and Higher Education.

Faced with the ecological and societal challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport, car manufacturers have embarked on the path of the carbon-free vehicle. As such, the progressive electrification of automotive propulsion represents a relevant response. It is currently the subject of intensive research and development and will require new skills that are still little covered by existing student training.

This new course, which will welcome its first students at the start of the 2010 academic year as part of an M2 Master, is original in several ways. It relies on establishments of excellence in the Paris region, which allows a unique pooling of complementary and transdisciplinary expertise and skills. It also benefits from a strong backing of the sector's research laboratories and a solid industrial base.

This training is intended for students from an M1 university master's degree or from the 2nd and 3rd year of engineering school. From varied initial profiles, students will have to master at the end of this training the fundamentals of each topic (combustion, electrical, mechanical, thermal, control) and the various in-depth studies provided by university and industrial specialists. This multidisciplinary teaching responds to the needs of a system approach strongly oriented towards the integration of new electrification technologies and the interconnection between on-board components.

At the end of the Master, students will be able to pursue research work as part of doctoral theses or occupy engineering positions within industry R&D teams and laboratories specializing in the field of electrification of automotive propulsion.

This Master has received the support of numerous industrialists (automobile manufacturers and equipment suppliers), engineering schools and research laboratories, all actors of the energy transition in the field of transport.

About the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan
The mission of the École normale supérieure de Cachan is to prepare, through high-level cultural and scientific training, students destined for basic or applied scientific research, university education, in the service of State administrations and local authorities, public establishments or companies. The disciplines taught cover many fields of engineering sciences (mechanics, mechanical, civil and electrical engineering), basic sciences (mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology) and human and social sciences (economics, management, sciences social, languages, design, sports sciences and physical education), within 17 teaching departments spread over the two sites of Cachan and Ker Lann.
Studies are organized within a number of masters, with a strong research vocation, meeting European standards (LMD), in cooperation with partner universities in Ile-de-France and Rennes as well as with numerous Grandes Écoles.
The École normale supérieure de Cachan is authorized to award the Master's degree and the Doctorate.
