Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, implement and operate compounds, products and materials to specific properties and physical, chemical and biochemical solutions/processes leading to obtaining these materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety and environmental).
• Based on modelling, design one or more products/processes/solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen solution/product in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation, quality, environment, safety/security).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Analyse and model a problem/process/producing pathway by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule, and the document monitoring.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received, make adjustments and corrections.
• Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international contexts.
• Identify skills and resources, and research external expertise if necessary.
• Make decisions, individually or collectively, taking into account the parameters involved (human, technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety/security and environmental).
• 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 customers, teachers and a board, both orally and in writing
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications, etc.) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling.
• Acquire and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret the results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Development or use of simulation tools; Process design or optimization, conception or improvement of materials; Integration of security aspects, economical and environmental constraints; Valorizing individual work; oral and written communication in English.

Practice professional activities outside the university:  practise scientific, technical and methodological knowledge in professional context

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

27 half-days of activities linked to the realisation of a project based on the development of digital tools (programming language or software) for the simulation, modelling or optimisation of a problem integrating technological or design aspects (possible integration of notions of molecular modelling, choice of materials, resources, process engineering and optimisation exploiting certain theories and opening up new perspectives); individual personal work (the student must be involved in his project). (9 ECTS)

Practical professional activities are offered (1 ECTS) and managed by the professors according to opportunities. These may include participation in conferences, scientific workshops, industrial training courses or creative activities.
