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).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical 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.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international contexts.
• Interact effectively with others to carry out common projects in various contexts (multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international).
• 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
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials 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.
• Analyse their personal functioning and adapt their professional attitudes.

Learning Outcomes of UE

AA - Combustion and Burners: Understand the fundamentals of combustion and the principles of rational use of energy; apply it to compute the energy balance of a combustion system including heat transfer inside the furnace, and to compute fuel saving by heat recovery on flue gas; describe the characteristics of premixed and diffusion flames, explain the principles governing flame ignition, propagation, and stability. Describe auxiliary equipment needed for air and gas supply, combustion control, flame stabilization, flame length variation, and flue gas heat recovery in gas burners; explain the principles governing pollutants formation in natural gas combustion; describe briefly primary technologies for emission abatement.
AA - Heat Exchangers: Understand the basics of heat exchangers; select the best solution for heat exchanger problems, considering the operating conditions as well as the technological and economical constraints; solve the two basic heat exchanger problems: thermal design of a new heat exchanger, rating of an existing heat exchanger; analyze in a critical way the performances of new heat exchanger types.

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE assessment

• Production (written work, report, essay, collection, product, etc.) - To be submitted in class
• Oral examination - Face-to-face
• Oral presentation - Face-to-face
• Graded assignment(s) - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Content of learning activities I-TRMI-005 and I-TRMI-034

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

Each of the AAs has a total weight of 1/2 in the final grade of the UE. For each of the AAs, a minimum score of 7/20 should be obtained. In case for one AA a score less than 7/20 is obtained, this score becomes the score for the UE.
