Objectives of general skills

• Imagine, design, implement and operate compounds, products and materials to specific properties and physical, chemical and biochemical solutions/processes leading to obtaining these materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling, design one or more products/processes/solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation, quality, environment, safety/security).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Analyse and model a problem/process/producing pathway by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.

UE's Learning outcomes

To master the tools needed for understanding and studying the visocoelastic behaviour of materials ; to interpret the rheological behaviour of materials and to know the parameters allowing the link between their physical properties and their texture, structure and morphology.
