Control a pool of knowledge in the fied of bioengineering and management (M.2.1 à M2.5)

Apply a rigorous and innovative scientific approach (M.3.1 à M.3.4 et M.3.6 M.3.9)

Concept and implement a complete and innovative approach of engineer (M.4.1 à M.4.7)

Communicate (M.6.1 à 6.8))

Act responsbly (M.7.1 à M.7.3)

b . Specific formulation for this activity AA program (maximum 10)

At the end of this activity, the student will be able to :

· understand the general functioning of the horticultural company in which the student has evolved,

· identify a limiting factor to the production,

· synthesize the state of knowledge related to the limitinf factor, from a scientific, technological and practical point of view,

· propose solutions scientifically and technilogically sound,

. communicate ¿ in writing and orally ¿ the state of knowledge and solutions.

Content

Fourty hours-long practice in an horticultural company or horticultural applied research center. Current work and discovery of the usual activities. Study of its functioning. Identification of a limiting factor (technological constraint, pest...). Study of the problem based on scientific litterature, interchanges with the actors of the company and scientific skills acquired during the studies of bioengineer. Solution proposals. Writing of a report and oral presentation with slides for the students and professor of the activity.

Teaching methods

Information previously available on icampus and through an information session. Realization of a 40-h practice in an horticutural company, discussion of objectives and problematics, avices for analysis and writing.

Evaluation methods

Evaluation of the written report and of the oral presentation and slides. Feedback

Other information

This course can be given in English.
