Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to deal with a complex problem in the field of electricity 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 and experimentation, design one or more systems / one or more solutions / one or more software and/or hardware implementations responding to the problem posed; evaluate them taking into account the various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen system/solution/software/circuit in the form of a diagram, flow chart, algorithm, plan, model, prototype, program, software and/or digital model.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (tests, measurements, optimisation and quality).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques relating to the basics of electricity, electronics, automation, signal analysis and processing, telecommunications; modern electrical network engineering (production, transport, distribution); electric vehicles; advanced electronic systems; wired and wireless telecommunications; intelligent sensors; human-machine interfaces; mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems; process control; image processing and processing; and the use of the Internet; advanced electronic systems; wired and wireless telecommunications; intelligent sensors; human-machine interfaces; mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems; process control; image and sound processing and, more s
• Analyse and model a problem 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 electrical engineering.
• 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 and align the project in view of its objectives, resources and constraints.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule (Gantt chart, PERT chart), and the document monitoring.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Work effectively in teams, develop leadership, and make decisions in multidisciplinary, multicultural and international contexts.
• Interact effectively with others to carry out common projects in various contexts (multidisciplinary, multicultural, and international).
• Contribute to the management and coordination of a team that may be composed of people of different levels and disciplines.
• 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 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 collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, 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.
• Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Learn to use a laboratory notebook to record the results of experiments and thereby initiate a protective approach to intellectual results.
• Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
• 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.
• Finalise a realistic career plan in line with the realities in the field and their profile (aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, etc.).
• 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.
• Construct a framework/reference model, formulate hypotheses and innovative solutions from the analysis of scientific literature, particularly in new and emerging disciplines.
• Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling to address a given problem.
• Collect and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

Learning Outcomes of UE

- Demonstrate autonomy and initiative in carrying out research within the disciplinary or professional field of a civil engineer;
- Demonstrate autonomy and initiative in carrying out their research in engineering;
- Carry out and justify a state of the art based on a relevant bibliographical summary and identifying the original contribution of the research;
- Define and apply a rigorous and justified scientific methodology;
- Apprehend with scientific rigour and critical thinking the validity and applicability of results produced as well as methods used;
- Communicate, in writing and orally, in a scientific context.
This research-based training is one of the specificities of the civil engineer's education.
