Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, carry out and implement projects and solutions to address a complex problem in the fields of geology and mining engineering by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Implement a selected solution in the form of a drawing, a pattern, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or a digital model.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out geology and mining engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques relating to geology, applied mineralogy, applied petrography, hydrogeology and the study of flows underground, applied geophysics, geology with information technology, geostatistics, research and the evaluation of deposits of mineral and energy materials, rock mechanics and rock masses related to mining engineering, planning and exploitation of mineral and energy resources, development of minerals and waste, characterisation, management and treatment of polluted sites, natural hazards and environmental problems.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• 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).
• 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 customers, teachers and a board, both orally and in writing.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
