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
• 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
• 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.
• Analyse personal performance within a group
• Identify and appropriately implement the different ways of working in a group
• 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.
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports

Learning Outcomes of UE

Know the regional geology of Belgium. Set engineers thematics within their geological Framework (water and mineral resources, hazards, etc.)
Develop the ability to extract three-dimensional geometry of geological objects and structures from two-dimensional surfaces (maps and cross-sections)
Reconstruct the chronology of geological processes through the analysis of geological maps and cross-sections.
 
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

3 days field work allowing the study of most geological formations of Belgium
Reading of topographic and geological maps
Plotting of topographic profiles
Reporting, interpolation, and extrapolation of geological profiles
Reconstruction of the chronology of geological processes
Exercises based on initially synthetic, then real cases
