Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, optimise, carry out and implement projects and solutions to address a complex problem by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• On the basis of modelling, design one or more projects and solutions 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 plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation, quality, sustainability, responsibility, etc.).
• Mobilise a structured set of artistic and scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out architectural missions using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to the architectural engineering.
• Conduct a critical and contextualised analysis of requests to establish the choice of a guiding concept (artistic, technical, societal, etc.).
• Model a project or solutions by selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations) and relevant techniques while taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of built environment for the benefit of humans.
• Assess the relevance of models and results in view of the current state of knowledge and construction and the 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.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule, and the document monitoring.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - artistically, 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
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials 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.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Analyse their personal functioning and adapt their professional attitudes.
• Finalise a realistic career plan in line with the realities in the field and their profile (aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, etc.).
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Construct a framework/reference model, formulate hypotheses and innovative solutions from the analysis of scientific literature, particularly in new and emerging disciplines.
• Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling.
• Collect and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• 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

carry out and justify a state of the art based on a relevant bibliographical summary and distinguishing the original contribution of the research; demonstrate autonomy and initiative in carrying out their research in engineering; apprehend with scientific rigor and critical thinking the validity and applicability of results produced as well as methods used; communicate, in writing and orally, in a scientific context.
This research-based training is one of the specificities of the civil engineer's education.

Content of UE

research; development; state of the art; exploratory study; theoretical and/or experimental study; scientific method; intellectual creation; innovation; modeling and/or implementation; calculation methods; comparison of methods and/or tools; oral and written communication; scientific argumentation; validation; scientific publication.
