Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, implement and operate compounds, products and materials to specific properties and physical, chemical and biochemical solutions/processes leading to obtaining these materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety 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).
• Based on modelling, design one or more products/processes/solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen solution/product 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, environment, safety/security).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Analyse and model a problem/process/producing pathway by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international contexts.
• Interact effectively with others to carry out common projects in various contexts (multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand the basics of heat exchangers; select the best solution for heat exchanger problems, taking into account the operating conditions as well as the technological and economical constraints; solve the two basic heat exchanger problems: thermal design of a new heat exchanger and performance determination of an existing heat exchanger. Understand the fundamentals of combustion and the principles of rational use of energy; apply it to compute the energy balance of a combustion system including heat transfer inside the furnace, and to compute fuel saving by heat recovery on flue gas; describe the characteristics of premixed and diffusion flames, explain the principles governing flame ignition, propagation, and stability. Gas burners: describe auxiliary equipment needed for air and gas supply, combustion control, flame stabilization, flame length variation, and flue gas heat recovery; explain the principles governing pollutants formation in natural gas combustion; describe briefly primary technologies for emission abatement.
