Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, develop, and implement conceptual models and computer solutions to address complex problems including decision-making, optimisation, management and production as part of a business innovation approach by integrating changing needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and develop the specifications with the client by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• On the basis of modelling, design a system or a strategy addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out computer and management engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to computer management engineering.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Define and align the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, and make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural and international contexts.
• Interact effectively with others to carry out common projects in various contexts (multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international).
• Make decisions, individually or collectively, taking into account the parameters involved (human, technical, economic, societal, ethical 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 boards, 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.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• 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

- The ability to work in mixed international teams, application of the SAFE agile methodology "Scalable Agile Framework" in this context.
- Develop and practice an effective communication methodology in an international context
- Acquire specific skills related to the proposed challenges ach year: AI, Cybersecurity, IoT and technological entrepreneurship, etc.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

- Technological challenge proposed each year, to be achieved by international mixed teams composed of IG students from UMONS and other students from a partner University. The partner University changes from year to year: PUT Poznan, University of Catania, etc.
- As part of these challenges, a one-week stay is carried out at one of the partner Universities.
- During the stay: mixed team work, courses and seminars in English. Work on the challenges in mixed teams.
- The stay is scheduled approximatively by the end of March
