Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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).
• 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.
• 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 customers, teachers and a board, both orally and in writing
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications, etc.) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• 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.
• Imagine, design, implement and operate products/solutions to address a complex problem in the field of science and engineering of materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, security 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).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, with a focus on materials science and engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques relating to physics, chemistry and mechanics of materials to the development, implementation, environmentally-friendly use of materials, and the behaviour of materials in a given context to a rational approach of material selection and innovation.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Justification of the chosen extraction processes for various metals and comprehension of the industrial processes used therefor. The main objective is to allow students to understand the link between the operating conditions and the necessary thermodynamic conditions.

Content of UE

Thermodynamic study of steelmaking and non-ferrous production processes; Phenomenological study of ferrous and non-ferrous metal production processes: oxygen steelmaking and refining of steel (including stainless steel), steel recycling with EAF furnace, production of copper, zinc, magensium, titanium, ... Theoretical and phenomenological study of steel solidification, including continuous casting; Metallurgical phenomenon occuring during hot and cold rolling; Products quality; Environmental aspects.

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Lab, seminaries and plant visits: 25% of the total note; Evaluation of the computer simulation project. The grade includes quality of the report's presentatin and exactitude of the explanations. Evaluation during the  year of participation to seminars and plant visits.
Oral exam, 75% of final mark, max. duration 60 min. All the content is susceptible to be evaluated (ferrous and non ferrous metallurgy, solidification and rolling), including exercises. questions are distributed randomly.  Students prepare their answer and expose them orally. Exam includes at least 2 questions. Synthesis and concision are required for the answers.
