Ma thèse s'intègre dans un contexte de développement d'une cotation fonctionnelle dans un environnement de CAO 3D chez Snecma, acteur majeur dans le monde de la propulsion aéronautique et spatiale. Les objectifs de ces travaux de recherches sont variés et suivent une logique de maîtrise de la géométrie sur tout le cycle de conception / contrôle / fabrication, notamment par le déploiement de la cotation ISO.Dans un premier temps une définition fonctionnelle ISO est proposée pour des pièces de formes complexes qui composent une turbo-machine, tout en considérant les problèmes liés au contrôle en métrologie automatique et sans contact. Cette définition nécessite quelques mises à jour des normes actuelles. Une autre difficulté fut de répondre aux demandes industrielles dans leur globalité en considérant les différents types de pièces des moteurs.Une seconde partie importante du travail consiste à développer des outils de contrôle et d'analyse de surfaces 3D complexes en vue d'une meilleure connaissance de leur géométrie en séparant les défauts locaux et globaux, qui n’ont pas le même impact fonctionnel.Une troisième partie consiste à développer une stratégie de transfert de fabrication 3D sur des pièces complexes usinées sur des montages 6 points en considérant les problèmes d’orientation des surfaces.L’ensemble des travaux permet de garantir le respect, sur des pièces de formes complexes, des exigences fonctionnelles de la définition jusqu’à la pièce usinée grâce au déploiement des normes ISO de cotation.Ces travaux ont abouti à une publication au CIRP CAT 2014 en Chine, le développement en interne Snecma d’un outil de quantification des défauts globaux/locaux, une volonté forte de développer un outil générique de transfert 3D basé sur le travail réalisé, deux distinctions créativité Snecma dont une classé seconde sur toutes les créativités 2013 et un changement de grande ampleur dans la méthode de contrôle des spécifications de forme de profils d’aube<br>My PhD thesis is integrated into a context of functional dimensioning development in a 3D CAD environment at Snecma, a major player in the aerospace propulsion world. The objectives of this research work are varied but follow one goal: mastery quality geometry throughout the design, control and manufacturing cycle, by the deployment of the ISO standards of tolerancing.At first a functional definition ISO is proposed for parts with complex shapes that make up a turbo-machine while considering issues related to metrology and automatic control without contact. This definition requires some updates of existing standards. Another problem was to meet industrial demands in their entirety by considering the various types of engine parts.A second important part of the work is to develop control and analyze tools for complex 3D shapes for a better understanding of their geometry by separating local and global faults, which do not have the same functional impact.A third part develops a 3D manufacturing transfer strategy on complex workpieces on mounting “6 points” by considering the surface orientation problems.All work ensures compliance of functional requirements, on parts with complex shapes, from definition to the workpiece through the deployment of ISO standards of tolerancing.This work led to a publication in CIRP CAT 2014 China, a Snecma internal development of a quantification tool of global / local defects, a strong wich to develop a 3D transfer generic tool based on the work done, two awards Snecma creativity with one ranked second in 2013 on all the awards and a major change in the control method of form profiles specifications

A major focus of many U.S. higher-education institutions is to increase internationalization of their campus through, in part, the promotion of study abroad experiences among domestic students and to recruit and retain international students to their institution. This study explored the effects of certain factors on various domains of the Global Engagement Measurement Scale (GEMS) – Cultural Engagement, Ambiguity Tolerance, Knowledge of Host Site, and Diversity Openness – among U.S. students who have studied abroad and international exchange students who have studied in the U.S. There was a particular focus, on determining whether U.S. study abroad students, compared to international students, rate differently on GEMS scales, after controlling for other possible confounding variables. Participants were recruited from three Southeastern, public, 4-year universities and were eligible if they were enrolled at any of those universities in the last five years. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed several factors significantly affected each of the various outcomes on the GEMS. Cultural Engagement and Ambiguity Tolerance were both predicted by the institution of study and the type of student (U.S. study abroad versus international exchange). Knowledge of Host Site was predicted by whether or not the trip was government sponsored, pre-trip familiarity with the host culture, and type of student. The overall regression model for Diversity Openness was not significant. These results provide insights into key factors that affect the overall global engagement of college students and can be used to inform university faculty and staff about features they can add to improve campus internationalization efforts.
