Objectives of general skills

• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to mechanical engineering.
• Study a machine, equipment, system, method or device by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of mechanical engineering.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
