Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of electrical engineering.
    • 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.
    • Respect deadlines and timescales
  • Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, and make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural and international contexts.
    • Make decisions, individually or collectively, taking into account the parameters involved (human, technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
  • 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 collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
    • Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
  • 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.

Learning Outcomes of UE

•Demonstrate expertise and versatility in sciences and technology •Adopt an applied scientific approach •Innovate •Implement solutions •Be a responsible person, in step with the stakes of society

Content of UE

Understand electrical energy production, transport and distribution (Smart Grids) problems in the frame of today electricity market, massive development of renewable energies and problems related to decentralized electrical energy injection in the national network; Analyse and compare different generation technologies of "clean" energy and give objective conclusions about prices/performances and exploitation limits; Know the different steps of electricity generation based on nuclear energy and be aware of the rational use of energy; Be able to understand the theoretical basics of pumps and turbines.

Prior Experience

Fundings of electricity and thermondynamics + "electrical machines and networks & power electronics"
