Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, carry out and operate solutions (machines, equipment, processes, systems and units) to provide a solution to a complex problem by integrating needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Optimally design and calculate the dimensions of machinery, equipment, processes, systems or units, based on state of the art, a study or model, addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a diagram or a plan that complies with standards, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Integrate, where applicable, maintenance policies and quality approach, rational energy management, and components from different technologies.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to mechanical engineering.
• Study a machine, equipment, system, method or device by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of mechanical 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.
• Respect deadlines and the work plan, and adhere to specifications.
• 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 clients, colleagues, teachers and boards, 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.
