Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Understand laboratory techniques: testing, measuring, monitoring protocol, and security
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Develop their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness
• Learn to use various resources made available to inform and train independently
