StudyQA — Master: Complex Systems Engineer

Description Contents Requirements Funding

Description

The Complex Systems Engineer Master’s program teaches students to understand modeling, design and management of systems produced, (particularly industrial) processes and organizations, based largely on modeling sciences, systems engineering and systems sciences and industrial engineering.

In terms of disciplines, this Master’s is at the crossroads between applied mathematics, IT, operational research, mechanics, automation, economics, tool design management and production. It covers organizational science, interactive agent systems analysis and the study of technical and organizational systems. Students will learn how to make bridges between modeling, digital simulation, design, managing and optimizing social and technical systems for industrial and service sectors.

Career opportunities

This program offers two options:

An in-depth initiation to research wherein theoretical aspects are always applied to existing issues with social and technical systems. At the end of the Master’s or thesis, students are able to take on responsibility within companies as managers of development projects, supply chain, purchasing, systems architecture, risk, production, or mechanical/mechatronic systems design.
training that is more oriented towards industry to become a logistics or production manager or executive.

1st year Master’s: Complex Systems Engineering, Research route (International track)

The objective of the Research route 1st year Master’s degree program is to train students in the field of Complex Systems Engineering and particularly Industrial Engineering with a “research approach” based on modeling tools, design and management of complex industrial systems.

This training therefore aims to provide students with an understanding of the essential issues associated with design, production and distribution processes within product and service companies, and introduce them to approaches, models and tools for designing, analyzing, simulating, managing and optimizing these processes.

In term of disciplines, this training program is at the crossroads of several fields, including decision-making support, design, production, applied mathematics, operational research, management, IT, mechanics and automation.

2nd year Master’s: Design Engineering (International track)

This track teaches students through and about research in the fields of engineering and management of complex systems design (Design Engineering and Design Management).

The objective of the Design Engineering track in this Master’s program is to train students for designing and developing complex systems. Several types of complex systems are covered in the course: technical complex systems such as automobiles or planes, unique complex systems such as satellites or booster rockets, as well as socio-technical systems such as organizational, energy or healthcare systems.

Methods and tools are particularly taught with the aim of students learning how to develop models and simulations linked to representing a studied or designed system and of predicting how it will behave and perform.

The course is adapted for students wishing to learn more in the field and who intend to pursue an academic career, as well as students aiming for an industrial career within R&D departments of large organizations, management positions in the fields of product and service innovation, or design and development in any company, whatever its size or sector.

2nd year Master’s: Optimization of Industrial Systems and Logistics (International track)

The aim of the OISL track is to train 2nd year Master’s students in research in the field of optimization of industrial systems and logistics, also called supply chain management. The objective of this program is to provide students with an understanding of issues associated with research they may meet in industrial systems and logistics, along with methods and tools to help them resolve those issues.

For foreign national applicants (outside of the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, Monaco or Andorra):

Consult the consular authorities concurrently to find out the procedures for obtaining your student visa. Depending on which country you are from, some authorities may ask you to use the CampusFrance facility.

The CampusFrance procedure must be followed concurrently with submission of your application to your choice of study program on the Université Paris-Saclay platform: https://apply-tc.ecp.fr/

International mobility grant (IdEx Paris-Saclay)

The IdEx Paris-Saclay project, of which CentraleSupélec is a partner, aims to promote international openness to master’s-level training programs provided by partner institutions, and to facilitate access for high-level international students wishing to develop a research training project up to doctoral level.

As such, for each university academic year, a one-year grant will be granted (for candidates accepted into the 2nd year of a Master’s degree), which can be renewed (for candidates admitted into the 1st year of a Master’s degree subject to obtaining successful results), to international students, to fund their completion of a Master’s degree with CentraleSupélec.

Applicants must first submit an application online (Application section). The person in charge of the training selects, from among the admitted, candidates to whom he will propose to apply for this scholarship. Each selected candidate will then be informed by e-mail so that they can complete their application for the scholarship; He must in particular provide the email address of two referrers who must complete their recommendations online before the deadline specified in website of University Paris-Saclay.

Ile-de-France Master’s degree grant

International applicants for a Master’s degree may be eligible for financial support from the Ile-de-France Regional Council.

This support is for foreign national students arriving for the first time, aged 30 and under in the year of selection, and wishing to complete a Master’s degree in whichever field of studies they have chosen.

All nationalities are eligible. However, priority will be given to candidates from priority decentralized cooperation areas of the region, or developing countries, particularly in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East or new European Union member states.

Candidates must first file an application online, specifying in the grant section that they would like to apply for the Ile-de-France grant.
