Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • 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.
    • Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
  • 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.
  • Imagine, design, carry out and operate machinery, equipment and processes to provide a solution to a complex problem of production, conversion and energy transmission 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.
    • Design and calculate the dimensions of machinery, equipment and processes of production, conversion and transmission of energy, 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 rational management of energy.
    • 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, with a focus on power engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the mechanics of solids and fluids, energy exchanges, dynamic and vibratory behaviour of systems, manufacturing and mechanical production, operating machines, physical phenomena, machinery, equipment and processes related to the production, conversion and transmission of energy.
    • Study a machine, equipment, or process of production, conversion or energy transmission by critically selecting theories, models and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
    • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of energy 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.
    • Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
  • 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.
