Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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.
• Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as an essential source of energy in modern society by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Implement a chosen system/solution/software in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation and quality).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on electrical power engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the basics of electricity, electronics, automatic control, signal processing and analysis, telecommunications, electrotechnical engineering (electrical machines, power electronics), engineering of electricity grids (generation, transmission and distribution), the development of renewable energy sources (wind, photovoltaic), the development, implementation and environmentally-friendly use of electrical systems, and specific techniques for the numerical modelling of power devices.
• 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.
• 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.
• Respect deadlines and timescales

Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand the principle of operation of variable reluctance machines, transverse- and radial-flux PM machines, stepper motors, and linear induction motors (flat and tubular). Establish an analytical model for each type of machine. Determine the torque, speed, power and efficiency. Learn typical industrial applications of these machines and be able to make an adequate choice of the machine to adopt and its essential characteristics.

Content of UE

variable reluctance motors, stepper motors, PM synchronous motors and generators, linear induction motors (flat and tubular); for each of these machines: physical principle, analytical study and associated models, main characteristics, industrial applications.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and/or works
• Written examination

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Written project report (weighting: 40% of the score of the learning activity) to be submitted at least one week before the exam date.
Written examination for a maximum of 2 hours (weighting: 60% of the score of the learning activity). The examination matter covers the course theory and the project.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Presentation and/or works
• Written examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Written project report (weighting: 40% of the score of the learning activity).
Written examination for a maximum of 2 hours (weighting: 60% of the score of the learning activity). The examination matter covers the course theory and the project.
Regarding the project, two cases may occur:1) the student has obtained at least 12/20 for the project: the project mark is automatically reported with the same weighting as in Q1) the student has not obtained 12/20 in his project: he is asked to submit a new written report at least one week before the exam date. He must eventually complete his study whether certain outcomes are missing. The written report is subject to a new evaluation.
