Every year, a common theme is proposed, in the framework of which students realize a group project in one of the three following options:

• electronics and telecommunication,
• mechanics,
• materials and processes.

As examples, here are some themes that were already proposed: formula 1, prosthesis and biomedical devices, VTT, kart-cross, Mars roover vehicle,  In connexion with these themes, students have to either study and develop electronic sensors or control systems, or to study and model the movements, displacements of the vehicles, or to study the live cycle and the properties of the material used to fabricate one of the organs of the vehcle.

-      understand the technological framework linked to a project in one of the options;

-      analyse a technological problem, the existing situation and the applied solutions;

-      propose original solutions to the problem;

-      confront the technological results to economical, social and environmental requirements.

Students are evaluated on the basis of the work done during the semester, of a written report, of an oral presentation, all realized in group. The mark for these item counts for 2/3 of the final mark. Criteria in the various option are specified at the beginning of the semester. They particularly stress on the technological aspects, on the understanding and mastering of the concepts behind the project, on the economical aspects.

An individual written examination is also organized, consisting in questions on the realized project as well as on given lectures and seminars. The individual mark count for 1/3 of the final mark.

To validate the credits, the students must get a mark of 10/20 for the individual examination.

Students work in groups of five on one of the proposed subjects for the option. Students are equally spread between the three options.

Activities: seminars, problem-based learning, project-based learning, supervisions, oral presentations, bibliographic research, written reports, preparation of oral presentations, ...

Bibliographic ressources are given by the supervisors and are available on iCampus.
