The primary objective of the " polytechnic " minors organized by the Faculté des Sciences Appliquées is to allow students taking a baccalaureate in engineering science, if they so wish, to acquire, through a polytechnic major/minor, basic training in two specialist areas of engineering science, and thus to broaden their technical range of skills, or prepare for a master's in engineering science in a domain which spans the various basic courses offered at baccalaureate level.
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
The disciplinary objectives of the minor in mechanics are to allow the student to acquire the basic concepts of theoretical and applied mechanics. For precisely, s/he will need to:
- Master this discipline via project and laboratory-based learning.
- Develop a deeper grasp of continuum mechanics (solids and fluid mechanics), in order to master the techniques of scale model studies and mathematical modeling required by these disciplines.
- Develop a deeper understanding of thermodynamics, both from a theoretical point of view (a deep understanding of thermodynamics, both from a theoretical point of view (understanding macroscopic concepts starting with kinetic theory of gases) as well as an applied point of view (technical and energetic thermodynamics).
- Acquire specialized training in machine design.
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
- Acquérir une formation polyvalente permettant de s’orienter sans difficultés dans les multiples technologies associées à l’activité de l’ingénieur mécanicien.
- Développer une connaissance approfondie de la mécanique des milieux continus (mécanique des solides et des fluides), pour maîtriser les techniques de modélisation physique et mathématique requises par ces disciplines.
- Développer une connaissance approfondie de la thermodynamique, tant du point de vue théorique (appréhension des concepts macroscopiques à partir de la théorie cinétique des gaz) que du point de vue appliqué (thermodynamique technique et énergétique).
- Acquérir une expertise en modélisation mathématique et en simulation numérique.
- Accroître ses compétences en conception des machines et fabrication mécanique.
