Quel avion pour quelle mission? (FUN)

Quel avion pour quelle mission? (FUN)

Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la compagnie aérienne avait affrété tel type d’avion plutôt que tel autre ?

En montant dans un avion, vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la compagnie aérienne avait affrété tel type d’avion plutôt que tel autre ? Sachant qu’il existe aujourd’hui environ une centaine de types d’avions de transport, la question est en effet plus que légitime : un type d’avion donné, pour quel type de mission est-il fait ? Et a contrario, quel avion choisir pour effectuer un type de mission donné ?
Ce sont à ces questions que se propose en premier lieu de répondre le MOOC : Quel avion pour quelle Mission ?
Mais au-delà de ce questionnement initial, ce cours se propose de vous aider à appréhender le secteur du transport aérien dans toute sa richesse et sa complexité. Nous verrons ainsi que, s’il en est la face la plus visible, l’avion en tant que tel n’est qu’un élément, certes central, mais reste un élément seulement d’un vaste écosystème industriel et économique constitué de nombreux acteurs : avionneurs, aéroports et compagnies aériennes pour les plus visibles, mais également services de navigation aérienne, ou encore autorités de régulation…

Engineering of Structures: Compression (Coursera)

This course deals with compression. When we push an object, it compresses. Compression is what's going to hold up our building. Arches, vaults, domes, and anti-funicular forms help resist compression. In this course, you will learn about different columns and arches and their role in resisting compression. You'll also build anti-funicular forms.

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics 2 (Coursera)

An appreciation of thermodynamics is required to become a chemical and biomolecular engineer. Thermodynamics can assess the viability of a process and is one of the curriculum's most essential topics. The principles are utilized in following engineering courses (kinetics, mass transfer, design, materials) and are applicable to numerous engineering disciplines. The increased emphasis on energy usage and transformation as a result of rising demand, diminishing supply, and global warming necessitates that the engineers who will tackle these issues have a firm grasp of thermodynamics.

ConstruiREcycler (FUN)

Le recyclage n'est pas un luxe ou une mode mais une nécessité, qui provient d'une constatation fort simple : nous vivons dans un monde limité. Contrairement à ce que nous avons cru fort longtemps et surtout dans les "golden sixties", notre activité humaine n'est pas infiniment développable, car bornée par des limites en termes d'énergie, de ressources naturelles, d'espace ou simplement de capacité d'adaptation de la nature.

Designing Effective Science Communication (Coursera)

Although many would prefer to leave science in the past and no longer engage with it once completing compulsory science classes in school, the reality is that engaging with science is an integral part of our daily lives. Moreover, for the safety and wellness of human society, it is necessary to engage with scientific information. We are faced with the necessity of examining scientific evidence on topics ranging from conservation to public health and make decisions that impact not only our families but those around us.

Ethics, Technology and Engineering (Coursera)

There is an increasing attention to ethics in engineering practice. Engineers are supposed not only to carry out their work competently and skilfully, but also to be aware of the broader ethical and social implications of engineering and to be able to reflect on these. According to the Engineering Criteria 2000 of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the US, engineers must have “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility” and should "understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.”
