Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, build and operate machines, equipment and processes to provide a solution to a complex problem of energy production, conversion and transmission by integrating the needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Identify the complex problem to be solved and develop the specifications by integrating the needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Integrate rational energy management.
• Mobilize a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialized techniques to meet, with expertise and adaptability, the missions of the civil engineer in energy engineering.
• Identify and discuss potential applications of new and emerging technologies in the energy field.
• Assess the validity of models and results given the state of the science and the characteristics of the problem.
• Plan, manage and carry out projects according to their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Evaluate the approach and achievements, adapt them in light of the observations made and feedback received, and make the necessary adaptations and corrections.
• Work effectively in a team, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural and international contexts.
• Identify skills and resources, and seek external expertise if necessary.
• Make decisions, individually or collectively, taking into consideration the parameters (human, technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental) involved.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured manner - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - at the scientific, cultural, technical and interpersonal levels, adapting to the goal pursued and the audience concerned.
• Argue and convince, both orally and in writing, in front of a client, a colleague, teachers and juries.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (report, plan, specifications, ...) adapted to the goal and the public concerned.
• Act as a responsible, open-minded, and critical professional in an autonomous professional development process.
• Demonstrate openness and critical thinking by comparing the technical and non-technical aspects of the problems analyzed and the solutions proposed.
• Make critical use of the various means available for independent research and training.
• Contribute through research to the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Collect and analyze data with rigor.
