Course contents :
|
| This course aims to place students in the position of a group of engineers led research department to work within a realistic structure of civil engineering.
They are divided into teams that must exchange information and cooperate effectively to achieve the best project not only in technical terms but also economically, aesthetically and environmentally.
They are thus led to consider several versions of the project and to make the best choice.
This project incorporates aspects of geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, materials, structures, ...
The problems of implementation, organization of work, quotes, integration into the environment are also covered.
This project is, with the traineeship, the culmination of the curriculum in engineering construction. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of this class, the student will be able to behave as a practitioner engineer.
In particular, for problems as various as the design of a bridge, a lock, a dam or a building, he/she will be able to analyze, within short delays, different technical solutions and their possible completion
He/She will be able to carry out the kind of
group study, with all social constraints it implies.
From a technical viewpoint, the student will
handle some design aspects that are too often considered as secondary (A/C system, lighting, environmental impact, etc.). He/She will be able to use information provided by third parties, as detailed drawnings, in order to base their studies on.
He/She will also be able to presents the main results with adequates communication means (technical reports, oral presentations, summary reports, concise drawings and sketches). |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| All the subjects covered during the studies will be needed. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The is a class with multiple speakers. After each session, the minutes of the session or a technical report have to be prepared.
It is also expected that the student themselves bring about the changes in their project according to the different aspects that are successively considered. They are also responsible to develop the main thread throughout the successive session and the different speakers.
The teacher will make sure the sequence of session will be planed in such a way to make possible the realization of that project on a time frame spanning approximately 25 sessions of 4 hours each. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| This integrated project is being conducted over the first four months. Attendance to classes is compulsory.
Teams are formed during the first meeting.
It is for these teams to organize their internal and external collaborations at all levels. Coordination meetings will be minutes.
Minutes are requested to the teams at each session.
Technical reports are required from teams at each stage of the project |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Activity and participation: 1 rating individual per meeting
Listing of reports: 1 Rating per Team
Oral exam in January: Individual Listing
The exam of January is a summary of the project. Each team has a common presentation. Following the presentation, questions are asked individually to each member of the team.
The jury will be composed of teachers from the construction and engineering practitioners. |
