Description

This unit involves carrying out a project on an Earth, Water and Environmental Science theme. The themes will be defined by the entire L3 teaching team, and will involve dealing with scientific issues using data acquired in the laboratory and/or in the field. Subjects will be dealt with by groups of 2 or 3 students, and will be supervised by tutors throughout the L3 year in the framework of 2 complementary UEs:

- the TEE 1 project in S5 will focus on bibliographical research on the subject and the acquisition of tools for writing a scientific report and giving an oral presentation.

 

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

This project unit, spread over the 2 semesters of the L3 TEE course, will give students an initial experience of working independently, which they can then transfer to their Master's course, or directly to the workplace, depending on their career plans.

Objectives

The first phase of the tutored project, the "TEE1 Project", is designed to train students to problematize and contextualize a research topic. This will take the form of a preliminary report on the state of the art. The latter will be devoted to a bibliographical synthesis of the subject, as well as to the methodology to be implemented to solve the problem posed. It will serve as the basis for the final report. Training sessions in bibliographical research and the drafting of a scientific report will be provided during the semester, to help students successfully complete this first phase under the guidance of their tutor(s).

Syllabus

This UE corresponds to a project UE (1.5h SPS/students). The hours will be divided between the tutors supervising the groups of students and the people in charge of the UE, who will also organize CM/TD sessions focusing on :

- research and synthesis of bibliographical data and drafting of a bibliographical and methodological report on the subject (state of the art and contextualization of the problem to be addressed, as well as the proposed methodology for carrying out the study)

- write a scientific report and prepare an oral presentation of their work
