The Mechanical Engineering project is an industrial project related to the professional focus chosen by the student and to a 8-week internship within the company that has defined the need. It can be an individual project or a team project. It gives the opportunity to the student to apply the skills developed over the previous years as well as to learn more independently. It is focused to objectives within agreed timeframes. It may address various topics: process design, industrial problem solving, modelling and simulation of heat transfer, CFD modelling and simulation, study of thermo-fluid machinery, thermal analysis of buildings, test bench development, measurement technique development, structural analysis, computer program development, …  

Multi-disciplinary team based projects are alternate possibilities and allow student to participate to International student contests (Shell Eco Marathon, Eurobot and so on). These projects are not associated with an industrial internship. They include the design, the industrialization, the manufacture and the tests of a robot, a vehicle, a drone …or, in short, a complex system to participate in a contest or an equivalent project.

Students who fail to comply with course instructions or to submit completed projects by such dates as instructed will be penalised or excluded from examination. The general terms are defined in the study regulations. The specific rules are presented to the students at the beginning of the academic year and posted on the notice boards. The severity of the penalty is defined and pronounced by the jury of projects.

Students will be assessed on the project on the basis of their written report and their oral presentation in front of a jury composed of members of the department of mechanical engineering, and representatives of industry. For the projects associated with an 8-week internship, the final oral presentation of the project will last 60 minutes max, including 20 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of questions and answers. The final rating (15 ECTS) results from two ratings:
- rating at the end of the internship (5 ECTS) : academic supervisor’s rating (1/3), reader’s rating, (1/3), rating of the jury (1/3) ;
- rating at the end of the project (10 ECTS) : industrial supervisor’s rating (1/4), academic supervisor’s rating (1/4), reader’s rating (1/4), rating of the jury (1/4).
For the multi-disciplinary team based projects, the final oral presentation schedule will depend of the number of students. For 6 students, the presentation will last 120 minutes max, including about 60 minutes of presentation and about 30 minutes of questions and answers. The final rating (15 ECTS) results from an average of four ratings of equal weight :
- first academic supervisor’s rating (1/4),
- second academic supervisor’s rating (1/4),
- reader’s rating (1/4),
- rating of the jury (1/4).
The reader is an academic or a scientific member of the faculty.
