Professional degreeA professional degree, formerly known in the US as a first professional degree, is a degree that prepares someone to work in a particular profession, practice, or industry sector often meeting the academic requirements for licensure or accreditation. Professional degrees may be either graduate or undergraduate entry, depending on the profession concerned and the country, and may be classified as bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees.
Double degreeA double degree program, sometimes called a dual degree, combined degree, conjoint degree, joint degree or double graduation program, involves a student working for two university degrees —either at the same institution or at different institutions, sometimes in different countries. The two degrees might be in the same subject area, or in two different subjects. Undergraduate Brunei – Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University Provide a double degree for Bachelor of Laws (LL.
Bachelor's degreeA bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and academic discipline). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS or BSc).
Master's degreeA master's degree (from Latin magister) is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course.
Capture de mouvementLa capture de mouvement (motion capture en anglais, parfois abrégé en mocap) est une technique permettant d'enregistrer les positions et rotations d'objets ou de membres d'êtres vivants, pour en contrôler une contrepartie virtuelle sur ordinateur (caméra, modèle 3D, ou avatar). Une restitution visuelle de ces mouvements en temps réel est faite via le moteur de rendu 3D de l'application interfacée avec le matériel utilisé qui peut les stocker dans un fichier d'animation de type BVH pour être traités ultérieurement dans un logiciel 3D classique (Maya, 3dsMax, XSI, Cinema4d, etc.
Ingénierie des structuresL'ingénierie des structures est un domaine de l'ingénierie et plus particulièrement du génie civil, traitant de la stabilité des constructions (conception et de l'analyse des structures). Une structure est soumise à différentes actions, permanentes ou variables dans le temps, statiques ou dynamiques, de nature mécanique ou thermique, et sa conception vise à satisfaire certains critères vis-à-vis de ces actions : Sécurité : sa résistance, son équilibre et sa stabilité doivent être assurés avec une probabilité choisie ; Performance : son fonctionnement et le confort associés doivent être garantis pour une durée suffisante ; Durabilité : la dégradation de la structure dans le temps doit être limitée et maîtrisée pour satisfaire les deux premiers critères.
Motion controllerIn video games and entertainment systems, a motion controller is a type of game controller that uses accelerometers or other sensors to track motion and provide input. Motion controllers using accelerometers are used as controllers for video games, which was made more popular since 2006 by the Wii Remote controller for Nintendo's Wii console, which uses accelerometers to detect its approximate orientation and acceleration, and serves an image sensor, so it can be used as a pointing device.
Engineer's degreeAn engineer's degree is an advanced academic degree in engineering which is conferred in Europe, some countries of Latin America, North Africa and a few institutions in the United States. The degree may require a thesis but always requires a non-abstract project. Through the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), Engineers Canada accredits Canadian undergraduate engineering programs that meet the standards of the profession.
Mécanisme réactionnelEn chimie, un mécanisme réactionnel est l'enchainement d'étapes, de réactions élémentaires, par lequel un changement chimique a lieu. Bien que, pour la plupart des réactions, seul le bilan global (transformation des réactifs en produits) soit observable directement, des expériences permettent de déterminer la séquence possible des étapes du mécanisme réactionnel associé. Un mécanisme réactionnel décrit en détail ce qui se passe à chaque étape d'une transformation chimique.
Rotation formalisms in three dimensionsIn geometry, various formalisms exist to express a rotation in three dimensions as a mathematical transformation. In physics, this concept is applied to classical mechanics where rotational (or angular) kinematics is the science of quantitative description of a purely rotational motion. The orientation of an object at a given instant is described with the same tools, as it is defined as an imaginary rotation from a reference placement in space, rather than an actually observed rotation from a previous placement in space.
Type constructorIn the area of mathematical logic and computer science known as type theory, a type constructor is a feature of a typed formal language that builds new types from old ones. Basic types are considered to be built using nullary type constructors. Some type constructors take another type as an argument, e.g., the constructors for product types, function types, power types and list types. New types can be defined by recursively composing type constructors.
Structural engineerStructural engineers analyze, design, plan, and research structural components and structural systems to achieve design goals and ensure the safety and comfort of users or occupants. Their work takes account mainly of safety, technical, economic, and environmental concerns, but they may also consider aesthetic and social factors. Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty discipline within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right.
