Industrial project

At the end of the module, students will be able to manage a mission on an industrial project.

The industry course is a new opportunity offered to students to confront the technical and economic world. This is an educational activity in project mode aimed at responding to a scientific or technological industrial problem, defined by a partner company of the School. The term “industry” is therefore understood in the broad sense of “enterprise”. Students involved in the industry course are responsible, in groups (from 2 to 4 maximum), for scientific and/or technological problems with a resolutely "engineering" scope, entrusted by partner companies. These problems are intended to be solved in project mode. These are specific engineering, organizational and implementation issues.

The theme of the project is chosen by the company in consultation with the school through one or more supervising teachers. This project will be the subject of one or more deliverables defined beforehand (computer program, report...). This selective course takes place in a similar and parallel way to the Research or ARTEM courses. Industry courses are subject to selection based on the motivation of the candidates. Obtaining an industry course is therefore not a right for 2A students and must be the subject of a consensus with the DE.

In concrete terms, the work to be provided for this project represents an investment of at least 200 hours of annual and personal work for each student, particularly during dedicated slots in the timetable (cumulation of ARTEM slots and department project slots, i.e. approximately 1.5 days/week for 2 academic semesters) and also significant personal work outside of these time slots. These formal slots allow in particular to regularly review progress with project management.

This project in partnership with a company is the subject of an agreement signed between the students, the School and the company in order to set the regulatory framework for this collaboration (insurance, reimbursement, accessibility, etc.). The proposed projects are based on the specific technical skills acquired in the departments but also on transversal skills between the scientific departments of the School. In other words, the project team may be made up of students from different departments, in order to offer partner companies complex deliverables and to ensure a certain emulation in the project team (students and management).

Students will apply their scientific and technical background acquired in the departments to respond to scientific and technical issues, under the direction of their supervision.
