Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Communicate the approach, results and prospects to a project owner or a board
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in arts, science, engineering and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Select and thoroughly apply knowledge, methods and tools in arts, sciences, engineering sciences and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Communicate in a structured way - visually, orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, and reasoned information
• Argue to and persuade a project owner, teachers and a board orally, with visual aids and in writing
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Identify the different fields and participants in architectural engineering

Learning Outcomes of UE

In this course, students will learn the skills of the concrete/steel designer, i.e. the person who intervenes upstream of the stability calculations and sets the "vision" as to how the concrete/steel structure should be designed to function in an adapted, coherent and proportionate manner.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1 - carry out a critical approach to the choice of a material for a given structure or part of a structure, based on rapid pre-dimensioning, technological considerations linked to implementation conditions (prefabrication, in situ) and a critical eco-balance approach.
2 - take into account, in an adapted, coherent and proportionate way, the management of ground supports (nature of supports, consequences in terms of foundations), the philosophy of bracing, etc.
3 - consider the use of advanced techniques (PRS, prestressing, redistribution, etc.
