Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Content
The course considers successively the different stages of the manufacture of sintered materials: synthesis of powders; shaping of the green aggregate, sintering, surface treatments, properties of products.
Teaching methods
The course consists of a dozen of lectures and a dozen of exercises and group work sessions. The modeling of sintering is developed in a project in groups of 4 students. On the basis of theoretical concepts, the interpretation of results of mechanical tests and / or of control data recorded in an industrial shaping process is also the subject of a project carried out in groups of 2 to 3 students. An individual work aims at drawing a state of the art in an emerging process not covered in lectures. The teachers themselves supervise the exercises and group work. They also organize one or two factory visit to illustrate the topics of the course.
Evaluation methods
Students are assessed individually in writing and orally. The exam questions are formulated to verify the acquired disciplinary learning outcomes mentioned above. The exam focuses on the response to questions relating to the understanding of the theory, and more specifically, for the written part, issues related to the ability to solve exercises of the same type as those offered during the course activities.
The achievement of transversal learning outcomes is evaluated via an oral assessment on the project in groups. Each student orally presents the work of his group to a panel composed of the teacher as well as students from other groups. To encourage students to practice critical sense, the evaluation criteria are defined previously by the students.
