      Objectives of general skills

      • Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
        • Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of prospective clients) to be met considering the state of technology
      • Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
        • Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
        • 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
        • Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports
      • Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
        • Develop their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness
