TEE 1 Project

This course unit consists of carrying out a project on a topic related to Earth, Water, and Environmental Sciences. The topics will be defined by the entire L3 teaching team and will involve addressing scientific issues using data acquired in the laboratory and/or in the field. The topics will be addressed by groups of 2 to 3 students and will be supervised by tutors throughout the L3 year as part of 2 complementary course units:

- Project TEE 1 in S5 will focus on bibliographic research activities related to the topic and the acquisition of tools for writing a scientific report and giving an oral presentation.

- The TEE 2 project in S6 will focus more on processing experimental/analytical data, critiquing the results obtained, and interpreting them. The final outcome of the study will take the form of a final report and an oral presentation before a jury.

This project-based course, spread over the two semesters of the third year of the TEE program, will provide students with their first experience of working independently. They will then be able to apply this experience to their master's program or directly to the professional world, depending on their career plans.

The first phase of the tutored project corresponding to "Project TEE1" aims to train students in the problematization and contextualization of a research topic. This will take the form of a state-of-the-art review, written in the form of a preliminary report. This report will consist of a bibliographic summary of the topic and the methodology to be used to resolve the issue raised. It will serve as the basis for the final report. Training sessions on bibliographic research and scientific report writing will be provided during the semester to help students complete this first phase under the supervision of their tutor(s).

This course unit will be assessed on a continuous basis.

This course corresponds to a project course (1.5 hours of self-directed study per week per student). The hours will be divided between the tutors supervising the student groups and the course leaders, who will also organize lectures and tutorials focusing on:

- Research and synthesis of bibliographic data and drafting of a bibliographic and methodological report on the subject (state of the art and contextualization of the issue to be addressed, as well as the proposed methodology for conducting the study)

- writing a scientific report and preparing an oral presentation of their work

- Be able to research and synthesize bibliographic information to address a given issue.

- Train students in writing scientific reports and presenting their findings orally

- Define a methodology for conducting a scientific study and define the analytical/experimental methods to be implemented.

- Ability to work independently while collaborating with others on a given topic
