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).
• 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.
• 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.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received, make adjustments and corrections.
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international contexts.
• Identify skills and resources, and research external expertise if necessary.
• Make decisions, individually or collectively, taking into account the parameters involved (human, technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety/security and environmental).
• 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.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Acquire and analyse data rigorously.
