Aims

At the end of the class, students should be able to
- understand the technological environments related to a project in one of the following domains: electronic and telecommunications; energy and environment; materials and process; mechanics and electro-mechanics
- analyse a technological problem and the state-of-the-art (the possible usual solutions)
- design original solutions to the given problem
- compare the technological results to the economical, social and environment constraints.

Main themes

The objective of this course is to integrate the knowledge resulting from
- technological courses of the bachelor's degree
- courses related to law
- function courses (marketing, finance …) of the bachelor's degree
- the course of "gestion de projet" of the 1rst year of the master's degree
by means of a team project realisation based on technology.

Content and teaching methods

Each year a global specific application field is proposed, in which four technological aspects are selected (electronics and telecommunications; energy and environment; materials and processes; mechanics and electro-mechanics). Among the chosen fields are: automotive technology, civil aviation …
Students works in teams of 5, on a subject related to the cited disciplines. Students are distributed equally between all the proposed projects. Some teams which have chosen different disciplines may work in cooperation if they want; the professors will encourage this interactive attitude.

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Prerequisite :
Significant scientific knowledges in the concerned technological domain
Evaluation :
The evaluation process is done in two parts: a global evaluation at the team level, based on a project report and an oral presentation, and an individual evaluation, based on a written examination, specific to the domain covered by the project. The global satisfaction implies the satisfaction of the individual part.

Pedagogic team:
The various teams will be regularly followed and coached by professors and assistant professors of the faculty of engineers.
