The second semester provides extra background in computational mechanics with a series of courses amounting to 15 ECTS into important aspects of solid and fluid mechanics (i.e. plasticity, nonlinear continuum mechanics, dynamics, computational fluid dynamics). The semester ends with a Practical Training (15 ECTS) module, which is an essential element in the curriculum providing students with the opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in computational mechanics in an industrial context.

Practical training is an essential element in the curriculum of the students and will be developed during the second academic year (15 ECTS). Professional or R+D profiles will be provided in industry or in applied research organizations in Europe which are in close collaboration with all institutions in the consortium.This training can be closely related to the master thesis and will provide inside knowledge in computational mechanics project development and management.
