Objectives & Presentation

The Specialized Master’s Degree® Bioresource Composites: Innovation and Eco-design trains future high-level executives in the field of innovative composite materials that take into account the challenges of sustainable development.

This level I qualification is accredited as a Specialized Master’s degree® by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE). All lessons are given in English.

The training takes place over 12 months: 6 months of teaching and 6 months of internship in a company as part of a professional dissertation.

In a context of rapid climatic and technological changes, this Specialized Master’s degree® trains project leaders capable of managing innovation and eco-design projects for products/processes made from renewable resources.

Background

Many industrial sectors use composite materials that meet a number of technical, economic, ergonomic and aesthetic performance requirements.

Sustainable development issues place bioresource materials as resources of the future for the development of the composites of tomorrow.

These new composites made from renewable plant resources can be developed to fulfill the needs of manufacturers seeking innovative solutions for their own products and to make them sustainable.

Targeted skills

This Specialized Master’s degree® is based on an interdisciplinary program supported by an eco-innovation approach. At the end of the training, graduates will be able to:

  • Innovate and eco-design materials/products/services from renewable resources.
  • Develop and optimize products or process solutions by integrating sustainable development with the opportunities offered by new technologies.
  • Lead and manage a project in a collaborative and open manner.
  • Manage an interdisciplinary approach and foster the emergence of interdisciplinarity.
  • Drive an innovation approach.
  • Conduct an eco-design approach using design and creativity tools and methods.
  • Take into account regulatory obligations, particularly environmental and societal requirements.
  • Understand knowledge (collection, modeling, presenting, expert knowledge) in order to transfer it to his/her activity.
  • Provide material solutions to different sectors of activity, understanding their specific needs.

Program

The course is divided into thematic periods with transversal and theoretical contributions according to the life cycle analysis (LCA) approach.

Bioresource materials, including wood and its derivatives, together with the workshops and laboratories, make it possible to design and build prototypes within the training itself.

The use of group project work promotes learning by doing, interdisciplinary and the emergence of eco-innovation.

The lessons are given entirely in English.

The 12-month course is programmed as follows:

  • January to June : courses at ESB and the Nantes Atlantique School of Design (Campus de la Chantrerie in Nantes).
