Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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.
• Imagine, design, implement and operate products/solutions to address a complex problem in the field of science and engineering of materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, security 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.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, with a focus on materials science and engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques relating to physics, chemistry and mechanics of materials to the development, implementation, environmentally-friendly use of materials, and the behaviour of materials in a given context to a rational approach of material selection and innovation.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of science and engineering of materials.
• 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 scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications, etc.) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• 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.
• Acquire 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.
• 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.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will become familiar with the main industrial polymers in terms of structures, properties and applications. A special emphasis will also be made on new trends in the industrial polymers sector.

Content of UE

The objective of this course is based on the overview of the main polymer materials currently synthesized industrially and encountered on a daily basis. It consists to review the synthetic methods, properties of polymeric materials and their daily and future applications.
