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.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Define the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international contexts.
• Identify skills and resources, and research external expertise if necessary.
• 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.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Acquire and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret the results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.

Learning Outcomes of UE

To justify the use of specific alloys for quite particular applications with scientific justification based on the knowledge of physical metallurgy.
The main aim is to give some examples of metal alloys with particular properties justifying specific applications.

Content of UE

Study of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys presenting special mechanical resistances or corrosion resistance or special physical properties or special forming properties. Study of the following metallic alloys : special steels (High and advanced special steels (HSS and AHSS), stainless steels and corrosion, reversible and irreversible alloys (alloys Fe-Ni)) ; nickel, aluminium, magnesium, copper, zinc and titanium alloys ; shape memory alloys (SMA).

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and works
• Oral Examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Laboratory work (industrial work), presentation of work and plants visits, 45 % of the mark (evaluation of the work during the lab time. Evaluation of the report of the industrial work, grading takes into account the quality of the report's presentation and the rigour in the provided explanations and the good control of the units and of the significant figures. Evaluation of the oral presentation of the results obtained from indutrial work. Plants visits : continuous evaluation during the year).
Oral examination, 55 % of the mark, maximum length : 60 min (examination on the totality of the course. The student receives a question that he must prepare during 30 min with open cursus, than he exposes his response. The examination includes a general question (the student must make proof of his ability to summarise) which will be then discussed.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Oral examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Oral examination, 100 % of the mark, maximum length : 60 min (examination on the totality of the course and on the laboratory work. The student receives a question that he must prepare during 20 min with open cursus, than he exposes his response. The examination includes a general question about the course (the student must make proof of his ability to summarise) and a question about laboratory work if the student didn't obtain 10/20 in<strong> </strong>Term 2 Assessment,<strong> </strong>which will be then discussed.
