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).
• Based on modelling and experimentation, design one or more systems/solutions/software addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• 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.
• 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.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• 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.
• 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.
• Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Collect and analyse data rigorously.
• 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

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Practical test
• Quoted exercices

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Evaluation of laboratory works (laboratory sessions in groups of 3 students - report present in each session) and final laboratory examination (individual): 15% (average points per group and individual). Exercises examination (written examination - 3 hours): 50%. Oral examination (preparation 20 min closed book and 20 minute presentation): 35% Eventually the oral examination could be replaced by a team research project to defend during the examination session. In this case: Exercises examinations (written examination - 3 hours): 45%. Oral presentation: 40%.
