Mechanical Engineer in Industrial Structures through apprenticeship / Polytech Montpellier

The Industrial Structural Mechanics (MSI) specialization trains field engineers in the fields of mechanics, metalworking, welding, and metallurgy through apprenticeships. It enables them to take on roles such as: project manager, manufacturing manager, design/methods office, inspection/control, etc.

In partnership with the SNCT, the National Union of Boilermaking, Piping, and Industrial Maintenance, it is taught in Nîmes, at the IUT (UM technology platform).

This type of engineering training is unique in France. The program enjoys strong support from the Occitanie region through the Regional Higher Education Apprentice Training Center (CFA ENSUP LR).

See the website of Polytech Montpellier website and the Apprenticeship Training Center (CFA) website for more details.

DE Welding Science and Technology (Institutional Diploma)

Welding professions play an important role in the mechanical engineering industry as a whole. These professions are included in the list of "shortage occupations" drawn up by the Ministry of Employment, due to the difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel at all levels.

The International Welding Engineer (IWE) is the highest level welding coordinator according to EN ISO 14731. They can therefore plan, execute, supervise, control, and test all tasks and responsibilities related to welding manufacturing.

The DE in Welding Science and Technology is a one-year specialized work-study program (continuing education) leading to IWE certification. It was created as part of a partnership between the University of Montpellier and the Institut de Soudure.
