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
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Communicate the approach, results and prospects to a client or a board
• 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
• Understand the fundamentals of project management to carry out a set project, individually or as part of a team
• Use the principles and tools of planning (time, tasks and resources)
• Ensure a project is tracked and documented according to its specifications
• Adapt the approach and achievements taking into account the feedback received
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• 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.
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Identify the different fields and participants in engineering
• Demonstrate self-awareness, asses themself, and develop appropriate learning strategies.
• Direct their choice of modules within their degree programme in order to develop a career plan in line with the realities in the field and their profile (aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, etc.)
• Develop their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness
• Learn to use various resources made available to inform and train independently

Set priorities and manage their own time to meet dead lines.
Present and justify their own work.
Communicate effectively in a jury situation.

In depth understanding of the working principle of a four stroke internal combustion engine.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

I-GRME-031: Preliminary report and technical drawings are evaluated for 15% of the final mark. They are provided on the last session of the project at the schedule during the 7th week of the project (unless otherwise posted rules on Moodle). That file includes the work carried out during the 1st step of the project, unless specifically requested.

A panel of the members of the Machine Design and Production Engineering Lab evaluates the work after presentation and oral defence of the project for 85% of the final mark. The oral defence lasts approximatively 20 minutes: 10 minutes maximum for the presentation and about 10 minutes for questions and answers. The jury has evaluated the file before the presentation and takes into account the student's attitude and competences during the project. Each student provides a file on the last session of project at the schedule (unless otherwise posted rules on Moodle). That file includes: a copy of the final technical drawings, two copies of the final report, preliminary drawings and report and the evaluation form of the preliminary file. Unless specifically requested, the final report contains all the work carried out during the two steps of the project, as well as a description of their bibliographical research and a report on the industry tour and any other specific useful information. Mastercam files for the projects dealing with machining will be sent to the supervisors according to the procedure transmitted to the students (typically: by email for 23h30 on the day the file is provided). Following the presentation, the student provides a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM with all of SolidWorks files, the written report and the presentation (plus any other useful documents: Mastercam files, pictures taken during the industry tour, references,...). Its structure will be in accordance with that specified in a document available on Moodle.

I-GRME-131: Compulsory presence
I-GRME-030: Participation is mandatory as well as writing a report and taking part in an interview.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Presentation and/or works

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

I-GRME-031: Rules are identical to those applied for the first examination assessment, with the exception of the date of delivery of projects, fixed at noon, 7 days before the beginning of the examination period (unless otherwise posted rules on Moodle).

I-GRME-131: -
I-GRME-030: No retake allowed  but the jury can define exceptions in some instances.
