Objectives of general skills

• 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
• 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.

UE's Learning outcomes

Study any logic system and present a critical analysis of it (first part: knowledge of basic components and their association);

Use the presented approaches like guides and implement them in a project who shows his ability to find a solution to a given problem (second part: for different application areas, specification of a hardware with current software tools (VHDL compilers).
