Objectives of general skills

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Identify and describe the problem to be solved and the functional need (of the project owner) to be met considering the state of technology
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Present a chosen solution in the form of a design, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Communicate the approach, results and prospects to a project owner or a board
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in arts, science, engineering and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering sciences and construction
• Complete an architecture project, individually or as part of a team
• Analyse and characterise complex problems in the field of architecture by adopting a scientific, heuristic, hermeneutic, systemic and transdisciplinary approach which integrates ethical, cultural, human, economic, technological and environmental contexts and issues
• Ensure a project is tracked and documented according to its specifications
• Manage deadlines and timescales
• Collaborate, work in a team
• Interact effectively with other students to achieve collaborative projects
• Identify and appropriately implement the different ways of working in a group
• Communicate in a structured way - visually, orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Argue to and persuade a project owner, teachers and a board orally, with visual aids and in writing
• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
