Les étudiants pourront aussi acquérir les éléments de base nécessaires pour entreprendre des études supplémentaires de niveau Master et par la suite effectuer de la Recherche. Ce diplôme a pour objectif de se focaliser sur le développement des logiciels et des matériels sur des domaines d application variés, tout en préparant le diplômé aux inévitables changements dans le domaine de l informatique. L introduction d un stage industriel prépare les candidats aux carrières de l informatique et situe leurs études dans le contexte des applications variées de l informatique. Le programme a les objectifs suivants : présenter l étude systématique de la théorie et des principes de programmation, du génie logiciel, du matériel informatique et des logiciels, ainsi que le rôle du système d information dans les entreprises, développer la capacité d analyser les problèmes informatiques et formuler des solutions pratiques pour les résoudre, associée à la capacité à formuler une évaluation critique de l approche et des techniques utilisées, développer des compétences clés et des compétences entreprenariales pour soutenir la progression de l étudiant au cours de sa carrière dans l industrie du logiciel ou dans la poursuite de ses études futures, développer des compétences personnelles et de communication et développer la prise de conscience du monde des affaires. To adopt a more student-centred approach, a flexible form of teaching will be conducted in both English and French where appropriate. Le programme se déroulera à la fois en formation initiale (FI) et en formation continue(fc) selon la demande. Page 2 of 58
2.0 ORGANISATION DU PROGRAMME Le DULT/BSC Génie Logiciel est un diplôme en 3 ans divisés en 6 semestres. Chaque semestre équivaut à 30 crédits (ce qui fait un total de 180 crédits pour tout le programme). Les 3 premiers semestres sont communs avec le DUST/Diploma Génie Logiciel. Au semestre 6, les étudiants entreprendront un important projet sous la direction d un enseignant responsable. The project report (rapport de stage) can be written in either French or English. Upon completion of the course project, the student is required to perform a formal presentation in either English or French language in front of a panel composed of academic staff of the department and/or industrialists. Le semestre 6 comprend aussi un stage industriel obligatoire de 10 semaines. Ce stage permettra à l étudiant de découvrir comment les technologies et les compétences apprises sont utilisées dans les entreprises. Cela aidera aussi l étudiant à appréhender des compétences techniques et des connaissances professionnelles et à découvrir les différentes carrières possibles. A chaque étudiant sera attribué un enseignant référent qui l aidera à fixer ses objectifs et contrôlera ses progrès - et lui fournira une aide supplémentaire si nécessaire. Les industriels locaux pourront être contactés pour se joindre au jury d enseignants du département pour évaluer le travail de l étudiant. The presentation of the work can be conducted in either English or French. 3.0 CONDITIONS D ADMISSION Les candidats doivent satisfaire aux conditions d entrée décrites pour le DUST/Diploma en Génie Logiciel dont ils suivront les 3 premiers semestres. 4.0 PERSPECTIVES DE CARRIERES Les diplômés ont un large choix de métiers possibles.
