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
• Communicate the approach, results and prospects to a client or a board
• 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 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
• Understand the fundamentals of project management to carry out a set project, individually or as part of a team
• Ensure a project is tracked and documented according to its specifications
• Adapt the approach and achievements taking into account the feedback received
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Collaborate, work in a team
• Interact effectively with other students to carry out collaborative projects.
• Identify and appropriately implement the different ways of working in a group
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Argue to and persuade customers, teachers and a board both orally and in writing
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Identify the different fields and participants in engineering

UE's Learning outcomes

After this course, students will be able to: build a data model with the relational algebra; master the basics of the main methods, concepts, models and functionalities of relational databases; prove the correctness of the model and ensure the integrity and the security of the data; develop a collaborative and communicative attitude during the realisation of a project and its written and oral reports with a team of students.

UE Content

Overview of data models ; concepts and functionalities of a database management system; relational data model; implementation of a database (analysis, design, data structures, normalisation, etc.); integrity and security conditions. Tutorials are dedicated to the implementation of a realistic database.
