Learning outcomes

The dissertation is a research work carried out according to the modalities applicable to a scientific research. It aims to train the student in the principles of scientific research and to verify his/her ability to study a problem in the field of computer science.

The dissertation is based on an internship in a company, a research team, in Belgium or abroad.

Objectives

At the end of the dissertation, the student will be able to conduct scientific research, in particular :

- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the subject matter.
- Conduct original and personal work developing own results and conclusions.
- Appropriate, integrate and mobilise existing in-depth knowledge for creative input in the field of computer science (critical literature review, method development, architectures, application and evaluation of methods, etc.)
-To develop a critical and systematic approach to all the work carried out.
- Demonstrate an ability to be autonomous in all the work carried out. - Communicate in writing with scientific style, rigour, formality and clarity. - Communicate results orally.


Teaching methods

While the pedagogical coordinator coordinates the UE on Webcampus and organizes a methodological session to present the expectations of the dissertation and how to organize it, it's the professor promoters who supervise the students as they complete the dissertation.

From the outset, it is up to the student to contact the promoter and/or co-promoter. The student is responsible for keeping the promoter and co-promoter regularly informed of the progress of the project, and for requesting any meetings he/she deems useful.

The student is solely responsible for his/her dissertation. The promoter is in no way involved in the actual "realization" of the dissertation, and has no final responsibility for it.

Evaluations

The final score refers to :

1) Evaluation of written work: an objective and scientific document that reports on the learning objectives and that :
- is a scientific synthesis of the personal and original work carried out;
- is about results, conclusions and arguments/justifications.

2) the assessment of the oral defence consisting of :
- a clear, concise presentation of its findings, conclusions and arguments/justifications;
- a question-and-answer session with the members of the jury, demonstrating a mastery of the subject studied and a critical mind.
