Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out computer and management engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to computer management engineering.
    • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of information technology and sciences and quantifying and qualifying business management.
  • Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
    • Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received.
    • 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.
    • Identify skills and resources, and research external expertise if necessary.
  • 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.
    • Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
  • Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
    • Analyse their personal functioning and adapt their professional attitudes.
  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out computer and management engineering missions, with a focus on Innovation and Information Systems, using their expertise and adaptability.

Learning Outcomes of UE

CAN
Understand the status of the current telecommunication industry; To set qualitatively the role of each element in the global transmission chain; To identify the perturbators sources (channel, noises, distortions); to estimate and compare the different modulation (analogue and digital) and coding options in a concrete case;  to acquire a long lasting 'telecommunication spirit' and orders of magnitude.
RI
- identify the various components of a network; 
- understand the role and operation of each element and evaluate their advantages and limitations; 
- understand the advantage of the various tools available for the analysis of the networks performances.

Content of UE

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

  • Presentation and/or works
  • Oral Examination
  • Written examination
  • Practical test
  • Graded tests
  • eTest

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

- RI quotation: The evaluation procedure will be detailed in the first sessions of the AA. In particular, the evaluation procedure includes a "continuous evaluation" part. This part therefore requires an "active participation" of the student, including a minimum participation rate (fixed to 80%).
- CAN quotation: Written examen of exercises and lab concepts at the beginning of the exam period : 35%; Oral exam of theory : 50% ; Laboratories : 15%.
- Final UE quotation : if the student has a quotation equal or under 7/20 for one of the AAs constituting  the UE, the final UE quotation will be equal to the lowest quotation obtained. Otherwise, the final UE quotation will be established proportionally to the AA's corresponding credits.
