Reference excerpt

The Institut des Sciences de l'Ingénieur de Toulon et du Var (English: Institute of Engineering Sciences of Toulon and the Var), or ISITV, was a French public engineering school. It was located in the south of France, between Toulon and Hyères, on the French Riviera. In 2014, the school merged with Supméca to form a new engineering school called SeaTech. The School was established in 1991 by combining the teaching and research resources of the University of the South, Toulon-Var with support and collaboration from industry.

Engineering majors

Marine engineering The marine engineering option at ISITV is a training that aims to train engineers who possess a solid scientific knowledge of the marine environment and the relevant technologies. This option provides students with the high level skills required in marine technology, offshore petroleum industry, coastal engineering, underwater robotics, remote sensing (ocean acoustics and optics)... starting from the basic sciences required to understand and describe the marine environment, hydrodynamics and fluid mechanics, oceanography, soil physics, strength of materials, corrosion.... There is a possibility of double diploma with Cranfield University (Master of Science offshore and ocean technology]) in England, and with the Escola Politécnica of the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Moreover, there is also a possibility to spend a term at the Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy. The school possesses several important experimental structures, including a surge tank and a wave tank for studies in ocean engineering. For numerical modelling, students have access to a variety of scientific software in different areas (fluid mechanics, hydrodynamics, structures). Practicals at sea enable the students to become familiar with modern methods of measurement. This training leads to numerous job opportunities at the national and international levels in such varied domains as offshore engineering, the protection of the seashore and offshore structures, undersea robotics, and oceanography.

Materials engineering The engineer trained in this option biased towards the development of products, is capable of rapidly assuming responsibility in the design and realisation of complex systems. There is a possibility of double diploma with Cranfield University (Master of Science advanced materials, Master of Science microsystems and nanotechnology) in England.

Telecommunications Engineering The objective is to train engineers who are specialists in the modern methods of telecommunications with regard to the acquisition, transmission, and processing of information, data and signals (sound, images, shapes, etc.) There is a possibility of double diploma with Cranfield University in England.

Mathematics engineering The objective of this major is to train engineers who can fit into any of the engineering disciplines; engineers who are specialists in mathematical and numerical analysis, the type of engineers industry needs to create and use mathematical models and algorithms to solve complex problems. This major is no more available; the option was closed in 2007.

Research Students can continue at the post-graduate and doctoral level in the various laboratories of the university. Four laboratories are geographically located at ISITV :

Complex Naval Systems Laboratory MAPIEM - Applied Chemistry Laboratory LSEET - Laboratory for the Study Particulate Exchanges at Interfaces IMATH - Institute of Mathematics of Toulon The integration of these research teams in the school places them at the interface between university research and the world of work.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var

In research: Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 establishments in France, Educational institutions established in 1991, Engineering universities and colleges in France, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Institut des sciences de l'ingénieur de Toulon et du Var outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
