Description
Research and Development (R&D) is both the combination of a team's work and individual talents, all in the service of innovation (applied research) and knowledge (fundamental research). The topics are diverse and varied, but a certain methodology is necessary to address any R&D issue.
Objectives
The objective of this Teaching Unit is to provide basic tools for tackling a new R&D project through a selection of topics.
This module will take the form of seminars and will be assessed through the production of a ten-page report on a topic chosen each year.
The seminars will cover topics such as: "How to assess the state of the art before embarking on a new R&D project," "The links between theoretical training and methodology to be applied in an R&D project," and "Case studies based on real-life examples."
Students will also be invited to attend selected research seminars organized at the Mechanics and Civil Engineering Laboratory (LMGC).
