Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of prospective clients) to be met considering the state of technology
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Communicate the approach, results and prospects to a client or a board
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the class the students will be able to MCDA: understand and explain the main concepts and methods of decision support, as well as to apply the methodologies studied in practical applications, with the help of software tools.(For details, see the AA contents)

Content of UE

multiple criteria decision aiding (multi-criteria problems, discussion of the weighted sum, additive value functions, outranking methods, decision under uncertainty and risk); multi-objective optimization (general concepts and introduction to the methods of multi-objective optimization); introduction to game theory,  treatment of uncertainty (introduction to fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic).
