Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as a source of information by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical 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).
• Implement a chosen system/solution/software in the form of a drawing, a schema, a flowchart, an algorithm, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (tests, measurements, optimisation and quality).
• 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.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to electrical engineering.
• Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• 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.
• Define and align the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule (Gantt chart, PERT chart), and the document monitoring.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, and make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural and international contexts.
• Interact effectively with others to carry out common projects in various contexts (multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international).
• Contribute to the management and coordination of a team that may be composed of people of different levels and disciplines.
• Identify skills and resources, and research external expertise if necessary.
• 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.
• Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly 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.
• Analyse their personal functioning and adapt their professional attitudes.
• Finalise a realistic career plan in line with the realities in the field and their profile (aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, etc.).
• 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.
• Construct a framework/reference model, formulate hypotheses and innovative solutions from the analysis of scientific literature, particularly in new and emerging disciplines.
• Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling to address a given problem.
• Collect and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

Learning Outcomes of UE

This project comes as a complement to the "Multimedia and Telecom project", and makes it possible for MA1 students to take part to the "cultural and creative industries (CCI)" path made available to engineering, computer science, and economics MA1 students of UMONS. In this path, a CCI project is proposed by students (as a result of several brainstorming and pitching activities) and analyzed by experts. Students can then work on the project for the full MA1 year, possibly splitting its electrical, computer science, and economical aspects among students with various backgrounds. Students will thereby learn to work in multidisciplinary teams, which is probably closer to their future working conditions.
