Transdisciplinary project
Writing a project report and oral defense
This module consists in putting students in a teamwork condition in project mode to enable them to acquire the methods and postures of project management.
The work is organized in groups of seven for one semester (January-June), half a day a week. It deals with real subjects proposed by industrial and institutional clients. These subjects focus on transversal themes: technological and/or social, societal and environmental dimensions. The groups are tutored by teacher-researchers from the school, and the students experiment in a rotating way with the posture of project leader. Conferences provide project management tools and processes.
At the end of the module, the student will be able to:
• Work in a team and open up to the practice of collaborative work.
• Manage the relationship with a client, from demand analysis to project delivery.
• Organize, plan a project, respect deadlines and develop specifications.
• Assume the role of project manager.
• Identify, model and solve unusual and incompletely defined problems.
• Take into account the transversal challenges of companies and society (economic, social, ethical, environmental…) and develop a critical spirit and approach to these challenges.
• Take into account the issues of labour relations, ethics and social responsibility at work.
• Find relevant information to respond to the customer’s request, evaluate and implement it.
• Report on this experience and produce a deliverable, both written (report) and oral (presentation to clients).)
