Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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.
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a diagram or a plan that complies with standards, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• 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.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• 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.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications, etc.) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• N/A

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Written assessment (in December, 33% of the mark). The written assessment encompasses design, drawing, analysis and dimensioning of gear drives. The Standard Handbook with Engineering Formulas is the only accessible document. Maximal length: 3h. Theoretical examination (in January, 67% of the mark). The theoretical examination encompasses analysis of technical drawings, technical drawings, design procedures, theoretical aspects concerning geometry, functioning, dimensioning and design principles. No document is accessible for during the examination. Maximal length : half-day.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• N/A

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The theoretical examination and the written assessment with exercises are organized consecutively during one single half-day. The students who have succeeded the exercises (equal or greater than 10/20) do not have to pass this part again, except if they ask to do so. The weighting is the same as during the 1st examination session assessment.
