Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) is a goverment institution affiliated
with November 7th University at Carthage which is under
the auspices of the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific
Research and Technology. TPS is one of the leading engineering
schools in Tunisia. TPS was founded by virtue of the Act No. 91/42
dated June 26th, 1991 and enrolled its first class
in September 1994. TPS has offered a five-year engineering diplomas
through a high-quality educational program. TPS graduates are
employed by Tunisian and foreign companies and others pursue advanced
degrees in European and North American universities.
Building on its proven record in education, Tunisia Polytechnic
School launched an International Master of Science Program in
Computational Mechanics starting the Fall of 2003 with a duration
of 16 months. For the academic year 2008/2009, classes will begin
on September 1st, 2008 and will end on December 12th, 2009. This
is the first graduate degree in Engineering to be offered in English
in Tunisia. The program of study leading to this degree is set
up in collaboration with the Department of Engineering Science
and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia Tech (USA) with financial support
from the U.S. State Department. The emphasis of the program is
on the application of advanced computational methods and experimental
techniques in the areas of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics
and control, and biomechanics. The coursework will be taught by
faculty members from TPS in addition to professors from selected
European and North American universities. Admission is open to
Tunisian as well as International Students on a competitive basis.
The cost of study is free of charge except for a modest registration
fee paid after admission to the graduate program. Potential graduates
of this program can continue for a Ph.D. degree in Applied Mechanics
at Tunisia Polytechnic School.
