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).
• 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.
• Analyse and model an innovative IT solution or a business strategy by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, optimisation, algorithms, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of information technology and sciences and quantifying and qualifying business management.
• 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.
• Define and align the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule, document monitoring, versioning and software development methodologies.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• 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).
• Contribute to the management and coordination of a team that may be composed of people of different levels and disciplines.
• 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 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.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications) 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.
• Finalise a realistic career plan in line with the realities in the field and their profile (aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, etc.).
• 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.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to develop and successfully carry out an entrepreneurial project.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

In order to develop their entrepreneurial project, students will participate in the monitoring activities of CLICK N'Start (UMONS support space). They will regularly present their progress during various seminars.
Different pedagogical approaches are used such as:
- Testimonials from an entrepreneur and/or a student-entrepreneur;
- Courses (theory and exercises): the different stages of creating a business (idea, market analysis, business plan) and tools related to entrepreneurship (BMC, etc.);
- Seminars and conferences (related to CLICK, for example);
- Company analysis.
