Objectives of general skills

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• 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
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Demonstrate self-awareness, asses themself, and develop appropriate learning strategies.

UE's Learning outcomes

Fondamental Fluid Mechanics: Identify the basic principles governing the behaviour of fluid flows and to treat the most common industrial applications. Establish and interpret the fundamental fluid dynamics laws Demonstrate a physical understanding and develop an analytical mind with regard to the static, kinematic and dynamic behaviour of fluids. Identify the laws to apply for a problem while knowing the assumptions, approximations, their scope and limitations. Apply the rules and the constraints of similarity. Identify and understand the structure of flow phenomena.
