WHY ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM?
Asset n° 1
The students will learn to manipulate mechanical science tools to solve mechanical engineering challenges faced by clinicians. They also learn the proper notions to drive life science engineers and researchers to clinical problematics.
Asset n°2
The students will get an original scientific background mixing clinics and hard science that will help them to build a stimulating career in academic and industrial R&D in the biomedical field.
Asset n°3
The students could follow the master 2 as a PhD track combining mechanics with physics and biology & health issues. At the end of year, they can enter in a science doctorate in the biomedical engineering field in their host laboratory.
The “Mechanical engineering for clinicians ” Year 2 Master Program of Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Université de Paris has been designed to combine state of the art academic knowledge in mechanics together with long term clinical research projects. The program will be proposed to students combining excellence in medicine and mechanics.
Graduates of our program will be future leading engineers, researchers, clinicians and entrepreneurs who will develop innovative solutions to tomorrow’s life science and biomedical engineering challenges.
Objectives
This Master’s program enables students to:
- Combine scientific courses with research projects performed in the environment of Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Université de Paris.
- Start conducting research in a stimulating learning environment.
- Communicate to life science researchers and engineers.
- Lead the clinical part on project involving biomechanical/engineering students.
- The Mechanical Engineering for Clinicians program prepares graduates for doctoral studies or industrial research and development positions.
- The Mechanical Engineering for Clinicians program prepares expertise for biomedical industry.
- The obtention of a master 2 is a prerequisite for an academical career in medicine.
The curriculum for the Mechanical engineering for clinicians (MECENCLI) track consists of three mandatory courses that allow students to learn the basics of mechanics as well as three courses focusing on code development, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. Finally, the students will be immersed in the research world through a long term internship (12 months) in laboratories performing cutting-edge research.
