Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of the project owner) to be met considering the state of technology
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in arts, science, engineering and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering sciences and construction
• Understand laboratory techniques: testing, measuring, monitoring protocol, and security
• Collaborate, work in a team
• Interact effectively with other students to carry out collaborative projects.
• Identify and appropriately implement the different ways of working in a group
• Communicate in a structured way - visually, orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, and reasoned information
• Argue to and persuade a project owner, teachers and a board orally, with visual aids and in writing
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports
