Study programme 2015-2016

Teaching and training



 Integrating the fields of mechanics and electricity is one of the major challenges of the civil engineering student in electro-mechanics.

The Master’s degree in Electro-mechanical engineering from UCL favours multidisciplinary training and the ability to solve interface problems raised by the integration of several fields. It integrates the fields of electricity and mechanics into a coherent whole and prioritises basic knowledge with the aim of deepening or reorienting students’ knowledge mid-career.

Students will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become:

  • Specialists in mechatronics (electronics, mechanical production, automation and robotics) or specialists in energy (smart grids/energy networks, thermodynamics and energy).
  • Individuals with field experience capable of putting into practice their knowledge of research and technology.
  • Managers who can manage team projects

The Master’s degree programme in electro-mechanical engineering prepares its students to be aware of technical progress and adapt to the needs of the job market and changes in business.

Polytechnic and multidisciplinary, the training provided by the Louvain School of Engineering privileges the acquisition of knowledge that combines theory and practice and that is open to analysis, design, manufacturing, production, research and development and innovation all the while paying attention to ethics and sustainable development.


On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1.Demonstrate mastery of a solid body of knowledge in basic science and engineering science allowing the student to learn and solve problems pertaining to electro-mechanics. (Axis 1)

2.Organize and carry out an applied engineering process to develop a product and/or service responding to a particular need or problem in the field of electro-mechanics. (Axis 2)

 


3.Organise and carryout a research project to learn about a physical phenomenon or a new problem relating to the field of electro-mechanics. (Axis 3)

4.Contribute, through teamwork, to a multidisciplinary project and carry out the project while taking into account its objectives, resources, and constraints. (Axis 4)

5.Communicate effectively (speaking or writing in French or a foreign language) with the goal of carrying out assigned projects. (Axis 5)

6.Display rigour, openness, and critical thinking; validate the socio-technical relevance of a hypothesis or a solution, all the while drawing upon available technological and scientific innovations. (Axis 6)
