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
    • 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
  • 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.
    • 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

Know the physical concepts such as surface and interfacial tensions, contact angle, wettability, mechanical and thermodynamic equilibria of an interface ; to understand, master and apply these concepts for concrete applications : minerals treatment, surfactants, characterization of micro and nanoporous materials ; to develop the insight and the physical meaning of the surface phenomena. Take the time into account when describing a reactional process ; Understand how molecular dynamics acts upon the chemical reactions kinetics ; Understand the fundamental principles and mechanisms of catalysis ; Identify the industrial constraints and take them into account in the preparation and forming of solid catalysts.

Content of UE

Surface physicochemistry : surface and interfacial tensions ; adhesion and liquid cohesion ; liquid/liquid inteface ; solid surfaces (contact angle, equilibrium equation, wettability, adhesion and cohesion) ; detergency ; interface equilibrium (Laplace and Kelvin) ; relative adsorption and Gibbs-Duhem equation ; applications : surfactants, divided solids, colloidal systems, mineral flotation. Kinetics and Catalysis : Reactional order ; reactional mechanism ; complex reaction ; chain reaction ; kinetic theories ; diffusion ; homogeneous catalysis ; heterogeneous catalysis ; chimisorption ; photocatalysis ; diffusion-reaction coupling ; solvent effects.
