Civil engineering

Continuum mechanics (see 1^st year Mechanics course)

•  Give a general overview of the different types of projects and trades in the field of civil engineering
•  Know the main phases of a construction project
•  Acquire a general overview of:
  -- regulations ;
  -- Construction technologies, particularly reinforced concrete;
  -- Principles of dimensioning.
•  Sensitize to the problems of sustainable development within the framework of the design and the realization of a work

•  General introduction
  -- The actors of the project
  -- The engineer - architect operation
  -- Timeline of a project (the different steps of a project)
•  Regulations (of the building mainly) :
  -- Urban planning
  -- Fire safety
  -- PMR
  -- Earthquake
  -- DTU
  -- Fascicules...
•  Construction technologies: earthworks, foundations, different structures, other trades
•  Load carrying capacity and bracing
•  Dimensioning of structures (buildings and current engineering structures, such as bridges)
•  Environmental quality and sustainable development in construction

•  Know all the steps and actors of a project
•  Know the regulatory constraints related to a project
•  Know how to dimension the main elements of current works
•  Know how to integrate the notion of sustainable development into a project
