Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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.
• 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.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Define the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international contexts.
• Identify skills and resources, and research external expertise if necessary.
• 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
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications, etc.) 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.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Justify the use of specific alloys for specific applications by scientific argument using knowledge of physical metallurgy.
The main aim is to give students examples of metallic alloys with particular properties that justify specific applications. Through the preparation of a lesson on relevant metallic material, students learn to find information, judge its relevance, criticize it, summarize it, and transmit it orally and through adapted support.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Study of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys presenting special mechanical resistances or corrosion resistance or special physical properties or special forming properties.
Study of the following metallic alloys: special steels (High and advanced special steels (HSS and AHSS), stainless steels, reversible and irreversible alloys (alloys Fe-Ni)); nickel, aluminium, magnesium, copper, zinc and titanium alloys; high entropy alloys (HEA); shape memory alloys (SMA).
