Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
    • Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
  • Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
    • Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
    • Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

- mastery of data analysis techniques: understanding of the methods and ability to implement them.
- Understand and interpret modeling results with critical thinking; interact with those responsible for modeling to improve its quality; extract and analyze significant data from a process in order to prepare modeling.
- Be able to implement a design of experiment. Awareness of the experimental validation of models.

Data analysis methods are often used to curate the results of design of experiment. This is examplified by a common project between the 2 parts of the class.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

- data analysis techniques: dimensionality reduction techniques (principal component analysis and singular value decomposition), classic statistical data analysis models (analysis of variance, multiple linear regression, etc.)
- probability-based modeling methods (Monte Carlo methods)
- ab initio methods
- theory of experimental designs and methods of analyzing results.

Prior Experience

Not applicable

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

  • Written examination - Face-to-face
  • Production (written work, report, essay, collection, product, etc.) - To be submitted in class

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

For 'plans d'experiences et méthodes stochastiques', grade is based on the project and the practical reports (no exam).
For 'Analyses des données', a written exam is organised.
The total note is the average of the 2 notes.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

The UE rating is the arithmetic average of the two AA ratings.
