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
• Integrate, where applicable, maintenance policies and quality approach, rational energy management, and components from different technologies.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation or optimisation of the proposed solution.
• 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.
• 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, and the document monitoring.
• Assess the approach and achievements, adapt them in view of the observations and feedback received, make necessary adjustments and corrections.
• Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, 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 clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Select and use written communication methods and materials, graphically or orally, adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• 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.
• 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.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and works

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Skills listed under the « Competencies » heading are assessed by the work placement supervisor, the academic supervisor, one (or more) rapporteur appointed by the corresponding Programme Committee and an academic jury. Assessment is mainly based on a work placement report, an oral presentation in the company (optional), an oral defence before the academic jury and a competency assessment chart. Deliverables specifications and expectations are described by the corresponding programme committee.
