The aim of the studies leading to the degree in Civil Engineering-Computer Studies is to train engineers capable both of creating complex computing systems for all domains of activites (industrial and others) and to supervise the elaboration thereof.

The programme leading to a degree in Civil Engineering-Computer Studies is accessible to all students holding the first 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.

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

The study programme in Civil Engineering-Computer Studies, comprises several angles covering aspects from fundamental computing to concrete applications, with emphasis on computing engineering. The flexibility introduced by the organisation of the programme in terms of subject groups and modules allows for a wide range of training profiles, from a thorough specialisation in computing studies to a mixed specialisation (computer studies plus another engineering speciality).

1. Programme composition

To obtain the degree in Civil Engineering-Computer Studies, the student must have already followed a programme comprising a minimum of 180 credits. Full details are available at the URL
http://www.info.ucl.ac.be

The general studies courses are compulsory :

The student will choose at least one of the two following courses :

To be chosen with a view to attaining a minimum of 36 credits, together with the general courses and the compulsory polyvalent modules in Electronics.

80.01. Computer Systems

80.02. Algorithmics and Data structures

80.03.Computing Languages and Translations

80.04. Networks, Distribution and Safety

80.05. Software Engineering

80.06. Artificial Intelligence

80.07. Information Systems

These modules will be followed in their complete form so as to provide a solid grounding in these subjects.

The options will be chosen with the agreement of the Study Advisor, from among the following :

• the computing subjects linked to the orientations outlined below
• subjects from the other University programmes

To obtain an orientation in "Software Engineering", at least 25 credits must be taken from among the following courses, in addition to the basic courses :

To obtain an orientation in "Networks and Communication", at least 25 credits must be taken from among the following courses, in addition to the basic courses :

To obtain an orientation in "artificial intelligence", at least 25 credits must be taken from among the following courses in addition to the basic studies :

To obtain an orientation in "Theoretical Computing", at least 25 credits must be taken from among the following courses in addition to the basic courses :

C.f. existing reglementation for the other degree programmes.

The students may follow various language courses organised by the ILV. These courses are recognised to the value of 90 hours (3 credits per course). Furthermore, one of these courses may be at an introductory level.

A specific course aimed to improve the linguistic skills and the professional interactive communication capacity of the students, is especially organised for the FSA students.

The students are encouraged to do an apprenticeship in an enterprise for a minimal duration of three weeks during their second study cycle. This apprenticeship represents 3 credits (30 hours) of the overall volume of their programme. It is subject to the prior approval of the degree programme Management Committee and concludes with a report. It will be ratified by an evaluation specifying "has/has satisfied the requirements".

This piece of work represents 30 credits.

2. Programme per year of studies

The programmes listed below only present the compulsory courses. The student will complete his programme in line with the rules for the INFO 2 programme constitution in agreement with his study advisor. The programme for each year comprises around 60 credits of courses.

First quadrimester

10 credits of polyvalent and general courses

Second quadrimester

6 credits of polyvalent and general courses

First quadrimester

Second quadrimester

15 credits of polyvalent, general courses and advanced courses
