This course is aimed at providing students with a significant experience in conducting a project in a group.

For this purpose, the students work in groups on one real-life project among a list of possible choices.

  • The real-life project leads to a physical prototype or/and a set of recommendations. Each project has its own requirements in terms of discipline, technology and methods.
  • The project work serves as a basis to experiment "Project management" tools and techniques.
The contents of this class can be split into two parts:
  • A set of lectures, exercises, readings, presentations, and reports related to the project to be made.
