Achieve and summarize a state of the art Generate and evaluate multiple possible solutions and select the best one.
Develop an ability to design a product or a mechanical system to meet an identified need.
Take initiative and responsibility, develop creativity, develop critical thinking, synthetise their own thoughts, draw conclusions.
Use available resources, know where to get help, have good seeking skills, learn to gain new knowledge and develop new skills.
Plan work, take responsibility in the long term
Communicate effectively, organize meetings with academic and industrial promoters, sell a solution at technical and nontechnical levels, produce progress reports and a final report, give presentation.
Work well in teams, schedule and manage a project, participate in discussions, make team decisions, build the prototype, possibly participate to the contest.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This integrated project brings together a multi-disciplinary team of students whose mission is to design, industrialize, manufacture and test a robot, a vehicle, or an industrial prototype. The project may allow students to participate to international contests (Shell Eco Marathon, Eurobot and so on) but it can be an industrial large-scale project as well (development of a motorcycle, a car racing, an industrial equipment, a production system and so on). It gives the opportunity to students to apply the skills developed over the previous years and to learn more independently. The project is focused to objectives within agreed timeframes. The student team is organized according to the standards practised in the industry. Students are coached by representatives of various departments of the faculty. Bimonthly meetings are organized and a meeting report is written and forwarded as well as an action items list that need to be accomplished with due dates. Each student has technical missions (mechanical design, modelling and simulation, software development, power electronics, control electronics, test bench and so on) and non-technical missions (project manager, secretary, treasurer, purchase, logistics, external contacts, organization of manufacturing and so on).

Prior Experience

This project rely on all the scientific and technical knowledge as well as personal skill acquired by the students throughout their course of study.
