The engineering that are taught in this institution will benefit from having an official program DS for measuring and promoting the knowledge and to increasing the benefits

The research activities performed at the Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Systèmes Mécaniques et des Matériaux (LISMMA) deal with the engineering of mechanical systems. They have a multidisciplinary character, covering mechanical engineering, mechanics, mechatronics and industrial engineering. The activities of LISMMA deal with: materials science, mechanical design (partnership with Dassault systèmes for the development of CATIA), supply chain, tribology (science of the mechanisms of friction, lubrication, and wear of interacting surfaces that are in relative motion) and vibro-acoustics (vibrations, noise, etc.).

Many of the tools we utilize are advanced, thus we are collaborating with 3DS and other corporations in creating new methodologies and processes to make the product development more efficient and have the tool adapt to the designer, not the designer adapt to the tool.
