Scientific electives
Starting September, the students have to choose an elective module from among the list below.
This teaching comprises a total of 84 hours of courses. Focusing on subjects which belong to current research developments, they provide knowledge which is then applied within ENSTA ParisTech partner research teams in France or abroad, during the Personal Laboratory Project ("PPL").

MAE10 - Stochastic Models for Finance
| The main objective of this course is to prepared students to the MsC second year cursus : "Quantitative Finance" linked to a Research Master. This course has a student quota (20) and is reserved to students who intends to follow a resarch master in quantitative finance. This cousrse is a 2 units course and is naturally related to the course Stochastic Numerical Method. | Professor

MFE10 - Real fluids and their modelling :
| This course is devoted to real fluids in the both limits of large and small Reynolds. In the case of small Reynolds, a modelisation of suspensions or flows in porous media is discussed. The transition to turbulence is presented in the frame of instability and chaos theories. Comparison with experimental observations is presented. | Professor

MFE20 - Climat
| The MFE20 deals with climat studies. As already learned in the course MF203 of the voie SMC/ENV, there are interactions between several compartments of the climatic system, in particular between the ocean and the atmosphere. The first course MFE21 is devoted to a better knowledge of the large scale circulation of the ocean, as seen in MF208 and will explain the formation of mesoscale oceanic patterns. The second course concerns the atmosphere (see CB202) and is devoted to the role of water in the atmosphere and climat through cloud studies. | Professor

MSE10 - acoustics
| Acoustics, or the science of sound, is concerned with the propagation of elastic waves in fluids. The three courses MSE11, MSE12 and MSE13 are essentially devoted to the acoustic waves perceived by the human ear. In MSE11, the foundations of linear acoustics are presented, followed by examples of propagation in free space and in waveguides. An introduction of room acoustics and psychoacoustics is also given. Aeroacoustics is the main topic of MSE12. Sound phenomena linked to nonstationary flow and turbulence are studied. There are numerous domains of applications of these knowledges, in the transportation industry and in environmental industry, among others, where acoustics is a central question when dealing with acoustic comfort and noise reduction. Other applications can be found in architecture, speech production and musical acoustics. The slot ME1 (module MSE10) is composed by the courses MSE11 (Linear acoustics) and MSE12 (Aeroacoustics) | Professor

MSE20 - Nonlinear mechanics and coupling
| The aim of this course is the study of some non-linear mechanical phenomena. The non-linearities can be one of these types: geometrical (large displacements and large deformations), material (plasticity, phase shift etc.) and of contact (collisions). These non-linearities intervene in many industrial fields: automotive industrie, nuclear industrie, aeronautics, space etc. Multiphysics coupling in mechanics are also presented with the numerical simulation of thermomechanics, change phase, electromagnetics and fluid-structure couplings. From a teaching point of view, this course constitutes a deepening of the courses of mechanics of the solids already taught at ENSTA. | Professor
