Objectives of general skills

• Imagine, design, carry out and operate solutions (machines, equipment, processes, systems and units) to provide a solution to a complex problem by integrating needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Identify complex problems to be solved and develop the specifications by integrating needs, contexts and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Optimally design and calculate the dimensions of machinery, equipment, processes, systems or units, based on state of the art, a study or model, addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Integrate, where applicable, maintenance policies and quality approach, rational energy management, and components from different technologies.
• 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.
• Imagine, design, carry out and operate machinery, equipment and processes to provide a solution to a complex problem of production, conversion and energy transmission by integrating needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Identify complex problems to be solved and develop the specifications by integrating needs, contexts and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
