Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• 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 basic scientific and mathematical principles
• 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
• 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
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Develop their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness
• Learn to use various resources made available to inform and train independently

Learning Outcomes of UE

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Written examination

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Written examination (theory + exercises) corresponding to the subject studied in the first quadrimester, counting for twenty-five percent of the final mark.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Oral Examination
• Written examination
• Practical test

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The mark for the second quadrimester counts for seventy-five percent of the final mark. It consists of the evaluation of practical laboratory work (for a seventh), the written examination (mainly exercise-based, counting for three sevenths) and the oral examination (mainly based on theory, counting for three sevenths).
The evaluation of practical laboratory work corresponds to the arithmetic average of the mark obtained at each of the four practical work sessions; each session being scored on the basis of the student's activity during the session, a brief report submitted and evaluated at the end of the session, the accuracy and precision of the results obtained, and a brief oral test during the session, about the manipulation.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Oral examination
• Written examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The written examination (mainly focused on the exercises) and the oral examination (mainly focused on the theory) are worth the same weight in the mark of the third quadrimester (Q3).
In case of failure in the overall mark in June and in the Q2 mark, the mark for laboratory work is transferred into Q3 mark if this laboratory mark is greater than 12/20. It is then worth one seventh (1/7) of the Q3 mark if only the second learning activity is re-evaluated in Q3, and for three twenty-eighths (3/28) of the Q3 mark if the whole teaching unit is re-evaluated in Q3. However, in derogation from this rule, in order to always benefit the student, the mark of the practical work is not transferred if the result of the Q3 evaluation exceeds this mark.

Type of Resit Assessment for UE in Q1 (BAB1)

• Written examination

Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)

The Q1 remedial written examination is subject to the same conditions as the original Q1 examination, and concerns the same subject. Its mark replaces the result obtained at the end of Q1, even if the new mark is lower.
