Technology Project

This project allows students from different academic backgrounds to apply the theoretical and/or technological concepts they have previously learned—as well as those covered in other modules of the program—as part of a study of a proposed mechanical system or one of their own choosing (subject to approval).

• Apply the skills acquired in various fields of mechanics and/or mechanical engineering,
• Work on your writing and oral presentation skills,
• Contextualize a mechanical system and position it within a range of equivalent solutions (state of the art),
• Prepare a technical dossier (overview diagram and detailed drawings, technical specifications, assembly diagram, dimensions),
• Conduct a functional analysis of the system (interactor diagram, characterization of functions and interactors, FAST),
• Verify the dimensions of standard components, determine the dimensions of a specific part, and/or optimize or verify the choice of material for a part,
• Measure the mechanical properties of the system (input-output relationship in terms of velocity or force) or of a component of the system (mechanical strength, stiffness, etc.)

• Kinematics, Statics, and Dynamics of Rigid Bodies,
• Second-Year Technology Courses (Technical Communication, Introduction to Mechanical Design, CAD, and Simulation of Mechanical Systems)

Recommended prerequisites*:

• Behavior of Materials and Simple Structures
