Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Description of the teaching unit:
General introduction to the use of system analysis to study, understand and manage an environmental problem
Table of contents:
System concept and modelling approach.The different model representation formalisms: state space, input/output, response to typical sollicitations. Methodology for the development of a model: conceptuel model and quantitative model. Elements of stability, control and simulation. Application to an example of river basin management in the context of a flood risk. The course is built on a "red line" exerecise dealing with the assessment of a typical sustainable tourism project.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course the student is able to analyze a complex environmental problem in terms
of system and to apply the proposed methodology to an other complex situation
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Mathematics fundamentals (functions, derivatives)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is made of theoretical lectures with some exercises realized by groups of 3 to 4 students. The "red line" exercise is realized also in groups with support from the professor.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Theoretical lectures and exercises in face-to-face mode
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
If the University moves to "red code", the course will be given remotely using the Lifesize platform and their broadcasts will be available on the MyUliège platform
The examination will be oral with open notes, using again the LifeSize platform.
Recommended or required readings
Copy of the Power Point presentations available
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
The evaluation is written without class notes. It evaluates the capability of the students to apply the methodology to an other environmental problem
