Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• 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
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Understand laboratory techniques: testing, measuring, monitoring protocol, and security
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Understand the fundamentals of project management to carry out a set project, individually or as part of a team
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Collaborate, work in a team
• Interact effectively with other students to carry out collaborative projects.
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports

Learning Outcomes of UE

Electrical Machines Part: Establish analytical model of the studied electrical machines taking into account eddy current, magnetic and mechanical power losses. Understand and exploit the main electrical and mechanical characteristics of the machines. Master and perform the various standardized tests of measurement of the key characteristics and parameters. Predetermine important quantities such as supplied or absorbed power, electromagnetic and mechanical torques, speed and efficiency of the machine

Electric Power Networks part: Understand the operation of high voltage electric power networks and its components (generators, transformers, air lines and undergournd cables) in steady-state. Calculate a one-line diagram in the per-unit system. Write basic equations of a load flow analysis. Understand voltage and frequency regulation.
