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.
• Analyse and model a problem/process/producing pathway by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• 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.
• Exploit project management principles and tools, particularly the work plan, schedule, and the document monitoring.
• Assess the approach and achievements, regulate them in view of the observations and feedback received, make adjustments and corrections.
• 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).
• 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, 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
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• 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.
• Analyse their personal functioning and adapt their professional attitudes.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.

Learning Outcomes of UE

- Practise the qualitative management of a project (stakeholders, team, communication, contents, risk and quality, life cycle, sustainable development)
- Practise the quantitative management of a project (planning and follow-up, budget and financial follow-up)
- Apply a relevant approach of project management

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

- Qualitative management of a project
- Quantitative management of a project
- Cases study
(See the learning activities)

Prior Experience

Not applicable

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face
• Production (written work, report, essay, collection, product, etc.) - To be submitted in class
• Oral presentation - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

- Qualitative Management : continuous evaluation and presentation
- Quantitative Management : written examination (exercises)
- Cases study: case study and written examination (The students will be asked to comment on one or on several of the conferences, to stand back and draw from it conclusions for their own professional practice.)
The weight of each part of the evaluation is 1/3.

Given the mode of teaching (simulation of piloting of a project in team), the presence in the activities is compulsory.  A participation rate smaller than 80% may lead to prohibit the taking of the evaluations.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

The weight of each part of the evaluation is 1/3.
