Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, with a focus on mechatronics, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the mechanics of solids and fluids, energy exchanges, dynamic and vibratory behaviour of systems, manufacturing and mechanical production, the management of mechatronic systems: dynamic modelling, control, instrumentation, and hardware and software operation and implementation.
• Study a mechatronic system or an automated mechanical unit by critically selecting theories, models and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.

Prior Experience

Not applicable

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Oral Examination
• Written examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The UE (Educational Unit) comprises two Apprenticeship Activities (AA) : -  The « Fluid power actuators » AA - The « Fluid power actuators : Applications in Automation » AA 
 
The overall rating of the EU is the result of an integrated examination test on the two AA. This integrated examination test consists of 2 parts: - An oral part of theory, maximum 1h, 50% - a written part of exercises, maximum 2h, 50% This integrated examination est held on a half-day during the session.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Oral examination
• Written examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The UE (Educational Unit) comprises two Apprenticeship Activities (AA) : -  The « Fluid power actuators » AA - The « Fluid power actuators : Applications in Automation » AA 
 
The overall rating of the EU is the result of an integrated examination test on the two AA.
Procedure of this integrated examination test is identical than the one used for the Term 2 Assessment. This integrated examination test takes place on a half-day during the exams session.
