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.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of built environment for the benefit of humans.

Learning Outcomes of UE
