Objectives

The objective of this course is to highlight the close links between fundamental biological sciences (microbiology, immunology, etc.), animal sciences, and agronomic knowledge.

The aim is to acquire the essential foundations for understanding the mechanisms of evolution in living beings, and for controlling their growth and agronomic potential.

The challenge is to acquire the essential foundations for understanding the mechanisms of evolution in living organisms and controlling their growth and agronomic potential, which requires an understanding of how soil works and its main interactions with the climate. At the same time,

the knowledge acquired on the functioning of digestion and lactation is a prerequisite for understanding the importance of sustainable livestock management...

• Define what a microorganism is: origin and diversity
• Define and understand, from acellular to cellular types, from prokaryotes to unicellular eukaryotes, the role of microorganisms in food quality, animal and plant production, plant and animal health (pathogens and microbiota), treatment processes, pollution markers, and environmental bioremediation.
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the immune system and its normal and pathological functioning
• Understand the evolution of the fields of application of this discipline
• Mobilize fundamental knowledge of the structure, lifestyles, physiology (nutrition and growth), and metabolism of prokaryotic microorganisms (bacteria, archaea).
• Use the basic principles of microbiology to identify bacteria, determine their metabolism, and calculate
• their growth parameters based on environmental conditions.
• Understand the functioning (and malfunctioning) of digestion and lactation in farm animals, and the impact on milk production and quality.
• Understand the main interactions between climate and plant production.
• Perform a radiation balance, energy balance, or water balance.
• Understand how soil works, its main interactions with the climate, and how it evolves depending on the cropping system.

Objectives

Chemistry explains many phenomena of life from the origin of the Earth to the present day. It will most likely continue to drive evolutionary processes and adaptations in the future.

This course aims to highlight the strong links between chemistry and physiological processes. It builds on the fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics and demonstrates that these principles regulate all primary and secondary biochemical reactions within all living organisms and explain the physiology of nutrition, reproduction, self-defense, and more.

This course unit will present the basics of chemical kinetics and thermochemistry in close connection with the major biochemical metabolisms, the enzymology that regulates them, and some elements of general physiology.

Objectives

This teaching unit has multiple objectives. The first is to train students in information organization, and the second is to teach them

the first steps in information processing, mainly focused on the field of population genetics.

By the end of this unit, students will have a basic knowledge of linear algebra covering basic operations, determinants, and the objectives and applications of diagonalization. In addition, they will be able to make the connection between matrices and linear applications. They will learn how to structure data and put their knowledge into practice in a database management system. They will be able to estimate the main indicators of a population from a sample taken from that population. Finally, they will have a basic understanding of population genetics.

SPECIFIC SKILLS

Objectives

Specific skills

During this training course, you will learn to:

• use the main concepts and terminology of innovation management
• explain the adoption life cycle and the adoption of innovation at the individual level
• define creativity and explain how to stimulate it
• explain what an innovation strategy is and why it is important
• explain how innovation projects should be selected and managed
• explain the importance of teams, team structures, and networks for innovation
• become familiar with basic accounting terms

Soft skills

Intercultural competence consists of five skills:

1. Intercultural attitudes: curiosity and open-mindedness, willingness to suspend disbelief about other cultures and belief in one's own.
2. Knowledge: of social groups and their products and practices in one's own country and in the country of one's interlocutor, as well as of
3. general processes of societal and individual interaction.
4. Interpretation and interrelation skills: ability to interpret a document or event from another culture, explain it, and relate it to documents or events from one's own culture.
5. Discovery and interaction skills: ability to acquire new knowledge about a culture and cultural practices and ability to use knowledge, attitudes, and skills under the constraints of real-time communication and interaction.
6. Critical cultural awareness: ability to critically evaluate, on the basis of explicit criteria, perspectives, practices, and products in one's own culture and in other cultures and countries.

Objectives

The objective of this course unit is to promote students' personal development by enabling them to develop their thinking, get involved, and learn more about themselves. It will also allow them to practice managing group work independently.

Focused on the acquisition of cross-disciplinary engineering skills referenced by the French engineering degree commission, this course unit aims to promote students' personal development.

Professional project building:

This course aims to help students build their professional project.

The main objectives are as follows:

• Know how to consult and use documentary research to create a job description.
• Identify the choices to be made throughout the program for the desired career opportunities
• Plan their path through the program to their desired job

Sport

At the end of this module, students will be able to:

• Act with respect for themselves, others, and the environment by following rules.
• Organize and assume social roles and responsibilities by managing and organizing practices and learning: setting up, using, and storing equipment, gathering information, working in a team, and helping others.
• equipment, gathering information, working in a team, and helping others.
• Plan individually and collectively to develop and implement an action plan, think logically and rigorously, assess the effectiveness of their actions, and develop their skills.
• Assess the effectiveness of their actions and develop perseverance in victory and defeat.
• Know themselves, prepare themselves, and protect themselves by regulating and managing their resources and commitment. Learn to warm up, recover from exertion, identify risk factors, take your potential into account, make appropriate decisions, control your emotions, appreciate the effects of physical activity on the human body, and adopt healthy lifestyle principles.

Objectives

Optimization is a major principle in science. This teaching unit (TU) will explain this concept through plant biology, botany and ecology, solution chemistry, and mathematics.

We can think of plants as using and regulating different chemical reactions in aqueous solution to optimize and minimize energy consumption throughout their lives in their environment.

Mathematics could highlight these regulations.

Based on various original teaching methods and tools, this course unit includes workshops, visits, practical work, reports, team projects, and flipped classroom activities—pair work is possible. Students explain the content to each other, and online courses can be used.

Targeted skills

• Understand sustainability criteria in all analyses and actions and be able to anticipate environmental, economic, and societal changes in sectors and regions (national and international)
• Ability to take into account the complexity and challenges of workplace relations, ethics, responsibility, and occupational health and safety
• Ability to think globally while acting locally. Take into account the challenges of sustainable development
• Ability to take into account the challenges and needs of society and be able to compare the impact of these challenges according to the needs of sectors and regions at the national and international level
• Commit and take responsibility. Ability to lead cross-departmental/inter-company projects, be a good team player and lead teams, in particular by encouraging employee buy-in and enabling everyone to understand each other's challenges and constraints. Be a mediator and demonstrate diplomacy
• Ability to work in an international context
