Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, develop, and implement conceptual models and computer solutions to address complex problems including decision-making, optimisation, management and production as part of a business innovation approach by integrating changing needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and develop the specifications with the client by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• On the basis of modelling, design a system or a strategy addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Deliver a solution selected in the form of diagrams, graphs, prototypes, software and/or digital models.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (modularity, optimisation, quality, robustness, reliability, upgradeability, etc.).
• Integrate technological innovation and intelligence within engineering teams.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Define and align the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule, document monitoring, versioning and software development methodologies.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, and make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural and international contexts.
• Interact effectively with others to carry out common projects in various contexts (multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international).
• Contribute to the management and coordination of a team that may be composed of people of different levels and disciplines.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade customers, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

Learning Outcomes of UE

split complex problem into quality software components; build quality software components; evaluate software development in terms of cost, delay and quality. analyse a complex problem; split the problem into quality software components ; build quality software components ; develop the software implementing this resolution with modern programming tools; develop collaborative and communicative attitude by teamworks, presentations in public and written reports; display initiative, innovation and organization (allocation of tasks, synchronization, ...).

Content of UE

The methods used for large software development (MERISE, UML); Software abstraction and decision Life-cycle; The Unified software development process; Agile software development methods (eXtreme Programming, Scrum, TTUP); Software project management (planning, methods of cost estimation, team management); Software testing; Human-machine interfaces (ergonomic design, digital communication techniques and media strategy) Implementation of a solution to a complex application (software and/or digital) and its development using an Integrated Development Environment like StarUML, ArgoUML or WinDev. The project is a teamwork, a good coordination is essential.
