The main objective of  the " polytechnic " minors organized by the Faculté des Sciences Appliquées is for a student taking the engineering science baccalaureate, should s/he so wish, to acquire, via a major/minor polytechnic combination, basic training in two specialist areas of engineering science, and thus to broaden his/her range of technical skills, or to prepare for a master's in engineering science which spans the basic courses offered at baccalaureate level. .

The multidisciplinary objective of the minor in construction are to allow the student to acquire the majority of basic concepts in the discipline, in particular: 

• Familiarizing him/herself with the theoretical bases of each discipline (construction, mechanical solids, hydraulics, soil mechanics), at the very least those which are vital to follow the master's course.  
• Familiarizing him/herself with the basic tools (modelisation, IT, experimental techniques, etc).
• Mastering simple applications. The student must gain initial practical experience over the course of his/her baccalaureate studies through practical work and basic projects. 
• Taking a critical approach to the most complex applications and methods which will be revisited on the master's course.  
• Developing analytical, critical and communication skills.

This polytechnic minor is essentially intended for students enrolled on the engineering science baccalaureate (civil engineering and architectural civil engineering).

The minor is also accessible to students enrolled on the baccalaureates in mathematical, physical or geographical science.

Minor activities must be taken in an order that respects the following requirements: 

- MECA1901 must come before MECA1100

- AUCE 1151 must come before AUCE1152

- AUCE1172 must come before AUCE1173

- AUCE1111 must come before AUCE1801
