Study objectives

The programmes leading to the degree in Civil Electro-mechanics Engineering - Mecatronics orientation and Energy orientation - aim to train engineers with a pluridisciplinary profile, capable of managing interface problems posed by the integration of several subject areas within a given equipment or system. The Mechatronics orientation puts the focus on studies in electronics, mechanical production and automatics, the Energy orientation put the focus on electricity, thermodynamics and energetics..

Admission conditions

The programme leading to a degree in Civil Electro-mechanics Engineering is accessible to all students holding the first university study cycle diploma ("candidature") in Civil Engineering. Industrial engineers and certain university degree holders in subjects relating to the Exact Sciences may also be entitled access, as may students with a foreign degree judged as being equivalent.

Admission procedure

The University admission and enrolment procedures are detailed in the section : "Access to studies" on the web page : http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/libres/acces.html

General structure of the programme

The choice of the Energy or Mechatronics orientations is made right from the start of the 1st year, with the possibility of a reorientation at the end of the 1st quadrimester. The individual work tasks and projects play an important role in the study programme, in the form of actvities attached to the course subjects, in the form of a pluridisciplinary project (integrated project in mechatronics) and in the form of an end of course project.

Programme content

1. Programme composition

The Civil Electro-mechanic Engineering degree may be obtained either in the " Mechatronic " orientation or in the " Energy " orientation.

Options

Each student will make a choice of technical courses leading to a programme comprising at least 170 credits , throughout the duration of the three years. This programme may include courses from KULeuven; it must be approved by the ELME degree programme Mangement Committee.

Language course

During the second study cycle, the students may follow various language courses, organised by the ILV. These courses represent a minimum of 30 hours (3 credits) within the total volume of the optional part of their programme.

A specific course, aimed at improving the linguistic skills and professional interactive communication capacities of the students, is especially organised for the FSA students.

Ahmed Adrioueche, Henri November, Severine Schmit

Apprenticeship

The students are encouraged to carry out an apprenticeship in a firm for a minimal duration of four weeks during their second cycle of studies. This apprenticeship represents 3 ECTS of the calculated volume of their programme. It is subject to the prior approval of the apprenticeship supervisor from the programme Management Committee and will conclude with a report. it will be ratified by an evaluation specifying "has/has not satisfied the requirements".

End of course project

This piece of work represents an individual work load equivalent to half a year's work (25 credits).

Evaluation

The evaluation is organised in the form of exams ; for the subjects including a thesis or a project, the evaluation also includes this work as well as a written and/or oral report. The end of course work presents the opportunity to verify the autonomy of the students in their individual work as well as their capacity to write a thesis and defend it in public.
