Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • 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
  • 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

understand the basic concepts of Thermodynamics; establish and apply the calculation methods allowing the determination of thermodynamic properties and their variations for simple thermodynamic transformations; establish the mathematical expressions of iso-property curves in thermodynamic diagrams; use thermodynamic diagrams; apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics; understand and establish the energy principles of thermodynamic cycle machines establish and use the fluid phase equilibria equations for pure compounds and mixtures as well as chemical equilibria equations; understand the working principles of thermodynamic machines (power engines, refrigeration machines, heat pumps), calculate their energy performances and understand the principles of improvement of their performances analyse complex energy processes and calculate their performances;
