Word of welcome
Welcome to Lyon and more specifically to the Master program «Nanoscale
Engineering».
This program is offered by a joint venture of top engineering institutions and
universities in Lyon: École Centrale de Lyon (ECL), Institut des Sciences
Appliquées de Lyon (INSA de lyon), Université Claude Bernard Lyon1 (UCBL1),
which are part of the “Université de Lyon”.
This Master was firstly supported by 3 key labs involved in nanotechnology and nanoscience:
the ”Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon“ INL, the lab “Matériaux Ingénierie et Sciences”
MATEIS, the “Laboratoire de physique de la matière condensée et des nanostructures” LPMCN
and by major companies in the Rhône-Alpes area. Today, other labs in Lyon are involved in the
Master in the field of physics, chemistry and biochemistry.
The Nanoscale Engineering program is resolutely multidisciplinary. It provides both a
theoretical base and a practical expertise in the fields of elaboration, characterization and
design of nanoscale structures and systems. It offers the scientific and technological knowledge
required to tackle a rewarding career in the innovative and growing field. This Master aims to
prepare students to continue towards a PhD level, but also to provide nanotechnology
industries with professionals able to adapt to the new challenges of this domain.
The Nanoscale Engineering program is resolutely international. All the courses are taught in
English. Courses and seminars are taught by professors or researchers, internationally
recognized for their research in the discipline taught. Students come from all over the world,
from different education systems, from different cultures.
The Nanoscale Engineering Master Guide contains all the information you need during your
Master. A description of the compulsory modules and elective modules is given, allowing you to
construct your personal program. Furthermore, this guide gives you information about the two
campuses, facilities and student life.
On behalf of the Nanoscale Engineering board, I wish you all the best in our Master program to
prepare a fruitful career in the Nano world.
Sincerely yours
Magali Phaner-Goutorbe
Professor at École Centrale de Lyon, Director of the Master Nanoscale Engineering

ÉCOLE CENTRALE DE LYON (ECL)
École Centrale de Lyon is one of the top ten French engineering schools. As with most
engineering schools in France, called Grandes Écoles, ECL is independent of universities and
trains top industrial managers after a very selective admission process. École Centrale de Lyon
is part of the Group des Écoles Centrale, (Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, and Paris) which share a
vision of high-level training for multidisciplinary engineers.
École Centrale de Lyon accepts about 300 students a year into its engineering program, from
the top 700 science students in France. The students enter ECL under a very selective entrance
examination after at least two years of advanced-level post-high school education. About 50
additional students are admitted in this program from scientific universities around the world
on an accredited transfer exchange scheme. The students of this engineering program follow a
three-year curriculum with the two first years dedicated to broad-based engineering courses
and the third year devoted to a particular area (Computer Science, Materials, Mechanical
Engineering…). The Diplôme d’Ingénieur awarded is comparable to a Master of Science degree.
École Centrale de Lyon offers 13 Master of Science programs, in agreement with Lyon’s other
higher education institutions, to about 100 students a year. Lessons are delivered by a team of
high-quality teaching staff, including teachers, researchers and nationally and internationally
recognized external speakers who are in direct contact with the latest scientific and industrial
innovations.
In 2012, 230 students are doing their PhD in one of the 6 laboratories of ECL, in cooperation
with partner industries or other educational establishments.
École Centrale de Lyon’s laboratories offer high-tech characterization and design equipment, as
well as world-class testing platforms, many of which are unique in France. These 6 laboratories,
all with the CNRS label of excellence, provide exemplary services to their major industrial
partners.
École Centrale de Lyon is a member of the Université de Lyon*

INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APPLIQUEES DE LYON (INSA
Lyon)
INSA Lyon is ranked among the top universities of Science and Technology in Europe,
pluridisciplinary and international, at the heart of the European Higher Education Area.
INSA Lyon belongs to a group of 5 INSA schools in France (Lyon, Rouen, Rennes, Strasbourg and
Toulouse). Over a 5-year curriculum, INSA de Lyon trains humanist multi-competent engineers
who are both innovative and entrepreneurial. It graduates about 1000 engineers each year in
12 fields of specialisation.
The students are usually selected after the Baccalauréat (A-level). They first follow a two-year
curriculum focused on broad-based scientific and humanist courses, possibly in international
groups or groups including arts or high-level sports. Then, the students are accepted into one of
the 12 specialisation departments (materials sciences, biochemistry and biotechnology,
computer science, environmental science, mechanical engineering, communications …).
During the entirety of the 5-year program, internships are performed in or in collaboration with
companies.
INSA-Lyon has a strong international practice: it has more than 230 partner universities all over
the world, which host more than 600 students from INSA-Lyon a year. At the same time, INSALyon trains students from more than 100 countries (30% of the students come from overseas).
Moreover, it is possible to complete the first two years of the program in Germany, Spain, Italy
or Brazil.
INSA de Lyon offers 9 post-Master programmes and 11 Masters of Science programmes.
About 650 students are conducting their PhD in one of the 20 research laboratories of INSA de
Lyon, either in collaboration with other academic partners or with companies. 3 associated
international laboratories have been created at INSA-Lyon with Japan, Brasil or Canada.

*UNIVERSITE
DE LYON – UDL
Université de Lyon (UDL) is the most important French University institution outside the
Paris region. It has 130,000 students, 11,500 teacher-researchers, 5,700 PhD students and 180
public laboratories. The Université de Lyon brings together in a unifying structure 20 higher
education and research institutions of the Lyon/St Etienne metropolitan area. The Université de
Lyon is a public institution officially created by a ministerial decree in March 2007.
UDL is a research and higher education consortium (PRES – Pôle de Recherche
et d’Enseignement Supérieur) created under the legal form of a Public Institution for
Scientific Cooperation. In addition to its missions set by the French research code, the
Université de Lyon has initiated strong cooperation between its member institutions. It takes
the lead on infrastructure projects and particularly intricate joint strategies and negotiations
with key partners.

The fact that the Master is conducted by a consortium of three institutions allows for the
combination of educational resources and technological infrastructure to provide the students
with the best possible theoretical and practical training.
All NSE students have a primary (administrative) enrolment at one of the three participating
institutions and two pedagogical inscriptions (free of charge) at the other two institutions. The
primary inscriptions are distributed evenly over the three partners institutions; all students
receive the same joint diploma bearing the name of all three institutions.
Tuition fees for one year: 250 euros

STRUCTURE OF THE MASTER’S PROGRAM
25
Curriculum of the Master Nanoscale Engineering
The Nanoscale Engineering Master is a two-year program corresponding to
120 ECTS credits.
The first year (M1) and the second year (M2) are both divided into 2
semesters (M1-1, M1-2, M2-1, M2-2), all weighting 30 ECTS.
26
Remedial courses
Given the diverse scientific background of the students (physics, chemistry, electrical
engineering, biology), it is essential to ensure that all of them can nevertheless acquire the
scientific and technological basics of nanotechnology in an adequate manner at the beginning
of the M1 semester. A key element to meet this challenge is the course:
UE S1-5
Basics of Physics
0 ECTS
Students are assigned to this course on the basis of an entrance exam in physics that everybody
is required to take, irrespective of their Bachelor specialization. Remedial courses must be
passed in addition to the regular program whenever necessary, without conveying any extra
ECTS points.
Core courses
49 ECTS
These courses impart the fundamental knowledge in the nanotechnology field applied to
physics, electronics, optics, materials science and biotechnology. They are divided into two
groups between semester 1 (M1-1) and semester 3 (M2-1).

industrial environment, such as acquiring communication skills for oral presentations and
written reports, preparing a CV, conducting project management, working in a team.
The project of the first year (UE S2-5) consists of exploring a nanotechnology-related topic in a
small group, for example by compiling a report on the state of the art in some domain of
nanotechnology and its implications for society, by designing a prototype of a device or by
developing a new concept for a practical course. The independent group work is supported by
courses on bibliographical research, project management, presentation and communication.

From 23rd to 27th January 2012, a nanotube workshop was
held in Ecully. The purpose of this conference, attended by
about 200 researchers and engineers, was to address the
latest results in the science and applications of nanotubes,
graphene and related materials. The physical, chemical and
biological properties of these materials were discussed
throughout tutorials, invited talks, oral contributions and
posters.
Master's students were invited to attend this conference
and ask questions directly of researchers. Then, they were
evaluated by turning in a report of around 10 pages divided
in three parts, based on one of the invited presentations,
one of the tutorials, and one of the regular talks,
respectively.

Outline
The combination of nanoscale elements to form complex functional
systems on microscopic and macroscopic length scales is the natural
domain of application for nanotechnology, This principle already
finds wide application in several economic areas, for example
microelectronics, transportation and healthcare.
This course provides the materials needed for the
understanding, the analysis, and the integration of such systems. The
notion of a system and its conception, from the vantage point of
students of nanotechnology, is explored via a case study. The
students will thus acquire the technical competence for the
specification, the analysis and the optimization of systems which rely
on phenomena on a variety of different scales.

The project of the first year consists of exploring a nanotechnologyrelated topic in a small group, for example by compiling a report on
the state of the art in some domain of nanotechnology and its
implications for society, by designing a prototype of a device or by
developing a new concept for a practical course. The independent
group work is supported by courses on bibliographical research,
project management, presentation and communication.

Outline
This course introduces the main concepts related to the design, the
fabrication and the utilization of microsystems for molecular analysis
in complex environments, liquid or gaseous. Such systems include
sensors and biosensors, i.e., systems for the detection of certain
chemical species, as well as biochips, which are devices for
simultaneous multi-factor analysis,
The course shows how the fundamental notions in the relevant
scientific domains (physical chemistry of interfaces, biochemistry,
physical measurements, ...) must be articulated in a coherent way,
from the conception of biochips and their fabrication, to the
interpretation of the resulting data, in order to achieve an analytical
performance that is best adapted to the issue under investigation.
We will discuss examples from the domain of academic research as
well as commercialized systems, for applications related to health
and environment.

The aim of this course is to convey adequate knowledge of
magnetism in solids so that magnetic nanostructures can be
understood. The specific properties of such nanostructers arise from
their large surface-to-volume ratio: increase of the magnetic
moment per atom, increase and modification of the anisotropy,
reversal of non-conventional magnetic moments, etc. An
understanding of these phenomena requires the introduction of new
magnetic states and novel models.
We will furthermore discuss dedicated analysis techniques for
the variety of nanomagnetic materials that can be fabricated, which
have to deal with the small size and quantity of the material, and the
possible applications of magnetic nanostructures.

Theme IV: Theory and Modeling
The total is 125 people, including 75 permanent (Researchers and Technicians), about 50 PhD
students and postdoctoral researchers, and few visitors.
In parallel to research activities, the lab members are actively involved in education and
training in the various cycles of the University (Bachelor Science and Technology, Master of
Physics and Technology), and in the engineering school (ISTIL) and IUT that are part of the
university and the Magisterium of Materials Science, common at the University Claude Bernard
Lyon 1 and Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon.
To host PhD, the laboratory is associated with the Graduate School of Physics and Astrophysics
of Lyon and the Lyon Graduate School of Materials.

Materials: Engineering and Science (MATEIS)
MATEIS optimises the operational properties of existing structural materials, but also develops
new ones. The four material classes: metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, are studied from
different points of view: processing, microstructural characterization, in situ observation of
thermomechanical or electrochemical transformations, non destructive characterisation,
microstructure-based modelling.
The challenges are to understand:
• The relations between manufacturing parameters and microstructure (defects at the atomic
or molecular scale, phase arrangement -crystalline, amorphous-, defects linked to processing microcavities, decohesion-…)
• The relations between microstructures and macroscopic behaviour measured by various
techniques (mechanical, electrochemical, calorimetric, dielectric, acoustic…)
• The evolution of these microstructures in operation (phase transitions, corrosion, damage
modes…)
Societal fields of application are transportation (downweighting of airplane and cars), energy
production and storage (safety in powerplants and batteries, ), materials for environment
(ramm earth construction, outer thermal barriers), materials for health (protheses,
nanoparticles for diagnosis ans therapy).
The lab gathers more than 60 scientists, either academic staff (INSA) or full time researchers
(CNRS), the same number of PhD students, 25 engineers, technicians, secretaries… in six teams:
Metals and Alloys / Ceramics and Composites / Polymers, Glasses, Heterogeneous Materials /
Biomaterials and Biological Interactions / Structures, Nano-, Microstructures / Interface
Reactivity and Corrosion.
