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
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of prospective clients) to be met considering the state of technology
• 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 client or a board
• 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 the fundamentals of project management to carry out a set project, individually or as part of a team
• Use the principles and tools of planning (time, tasks and resources)
• Ensure a project is tracked and documented according to its specifications
• Adapt the approach and achievements taking into account the feedback received
• 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
• Argue to and persuade customers, teachers and a board both orally and in writing
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Identify the different fields and participants in engineering
• Develop their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness
• Learn to use various resources made available to inform and train independently

Learning Outcomes of UE

After this course, students will be able to: confront, within a team, a large problem, analyse it and find an interactive solution; base the solution on its design, realisation and validation; investigate and choose the appropriate tools and language for the development of the application; display the data acquisition and the results on a graphic user interface developed in the language chosen by the team; achieve the goals of reliability, extensibility and maintainability.
