eLearning @ Cerfacs - Online Courses

CERFACS members collaborate to formation in multiple places (engineering schools and universities in Toulouse, Bordeaux and Paris, and specialized schools for PhDs and engineers such as Von Karmann Institut, College de Polytechnique, etc) and on many topics (numerical methods, high-performance computing, fortran, optimization, tutorial for Large Eddy Simulation of reacting flows, theoretical and numerical combustion, Computation Fluid Dynamics on massively parallel architectures, etc).
To ensure that students can have the best access to teaching materials (courses, hands-on exercices, links to various external sources, examples of exams),
CERFACS has gathered data on this website where you can download all data related to the course they are following. You are welcome to use this site.

AMASONE (Atlantic Master on Ship Operation & Naval Engineering)

I have the pleasure to inform you that Centrale Nantes (in cooperation with Ecole Navale Best) offers a new International high-advanced Master called

AMASONE (Atlantic Master on Ship Operation & Naval Engineering).

Please find enclosed the flyer.

The objective of this Master is
to get specific skills in Naval engineering and ship Operations.
to use unique facilities : towing tanks, engines tests benches, French Navy ships and navigation simulators.
It is a Unique opportunity to study in France in 2 excellent-ranked institutions : Centrale Nantes and Ecole Naval of Brest.

This Master is supported by prestigious companies such as DCNS, STX, Bureau Veritas.

The website is under construction.
The first-cohort Intake will be on September 2014.

Please do not hesitate to spread this information in your country.

Application from now submitting your CV, letter of Motivation and transcripts to Professor Jean-Francois HETET (hetet@ec-nantes.fr)
