Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as an essential source of energy in modern society by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling and experimentation, design one or more systems/solutions/software addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen system/solution/software in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on electrical power engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the basics of electricity, electronics, automatic control, signal processing and analysis, telecommunications, electrotechnical engineering (electrical machines, power electronics), engineering of electricity grids (generation, transmission and distribution), the development of renewable energy sources (wind, photovoltaic), the development, implementation and environmentally-friendly use of electrical systems, and specific techniques for the numerical modelling of power devices.
• Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• 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 collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
