Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
Regarding the learning outcomes of the program of Bachelor in Engineering, this course contributes to the development and the acquisition of the following learning outcomes:LO1, LO2-3, LO4, LO5, LO6
The project also allows the acquisition of large competences in the field of civil engineering, through several interactions with the lab's technical staff 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'. |

- Work in the laboratory with the technicians, professors and assistants.
Other information
This course is part of the set of courses « Project 4 » of the programme of bachelor in engineering. Projects 4 share common transversal objectives, but exist under different versions oriented towards specific disciplinary objectives, corresponding to the options of the programme. Each student chooses the project related to one of his/her options.
