Master in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics - 1st year
29-08-2013
General presentation
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 design related to aeronautics and space. It aims at preparing students for careers in the aerospace industry and research in Europe and worldwide. The program consists of a total of 4 semesters of 30 ECTS each, i.e. 120 ECTS credits for the whole program. The MSc AMA starts with a first semester emphasizing aerospace engineering and control to prepare students to the majors to be selected for semesters two and three: aerodynamics & fluid dynamics, aeronautical structures or aircraft control. Five majors are offered in semester 3 covering the main domains of aircraft and space vehicle domains. Students have strong opportunities to develop scientific skills through research projects in ISAEs laboratories and practical skills during internships in aerospace industry.

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 master thesis to be performed in a company 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.

OBJECTIVES This course is an introduction to the mathematics modelisation of engineering problems. Pre-requisites: Modest background in mathematics (and physics). Matrix algebra, ordinary differential equations. Vector calculus Organization 12 Cours (15 h) 4 BE (5 h) 1 Test crit (1.25 h) Total: 21.25 h CONTENTS Introduction of Partial Differential Equations(classification : Elliptic, Parabolic, Hyperbolic). Different tools are presented to characterize the solutions in some simple model problems. 1-For the heat equation which is the propotype of parabolic equation, 1.1) We introduce the methods of the separation of variables in 1D with a bounded domain. 1.2) Using Fourier transform, we express the solution in 2D and 3D for unbounded domain. 1.3) We introduce the notion of the fundamental solution. In all cases, the nature of the solution is studied (qualitative properties) in relation with the physics modelised by the equation. 2-For the transport equation and the waves equation which are the propotypes of hyperbolic equation, 2.1) We introduce the notion of the characteristics to give interpretations. 2.2) The method of the separation of variables and the Fourier transform is recall in this situation. 3- Complements : Maxwell's equations.

2CULT - culture
OBJECTIVES Understand the nature of what we call European culture: its variations, common origins, divergences and contemporary applications. Organization 16 Cours (20 h) CONTENTS The course is divided into two sections: Section ONE for students who come from a European cultural background: their basic program is about cultural comparisons and the question: What is Europe?What does Europe mean to you? Using Toulouse as an example of a city with a long, rich past the class will focus on the ways in which Toulouse represents "Europe" in its history, achitecture, structure and lifestyle, both past and present. Students will explore different parts of the city and note comparisons in both the structure and the life in Toulouse and their home cities... The course takes place half the time in situ in various parts of the city During classtime there will be presentations by groups of the ideas and arguments for and against the idea of a unified notion of Europe and its culture. Final work will be a presentation of a paper comparing some aspect of Toulouse to another city and country. Section TWO: For non-European students Using Toulouse as an example,and mode, this section will focus on the history of France and Toulouse to talk about what Europe was and is. Emphasis is placed on the roles of religion, political power, history and the arts in helping to identify European culture. Through visits to museums, neighborhoods and vestiges of the past, students wil begin to identify and understand the elements that can be called "European". The final project is a short paper on one aspect of life here in Toulouse that the student sees as "typically" European, with an analysis of why and what that is.
