Professional projects - follow-up of apprentice projects

The M1 ICAP apprentice student is put in a professional situation to carry out a project in response to an industrial problem. This project will be carried out under the responsibility of a member of the teaching team (academic or industrial). Carried out throughout the semester, this project aims to put into practice the knowledge/know-how acquired during the Bachelor's and early Master's degree. In addition to the disciplinary skills of chemistry, other relational, organizational and communication skills, intrinsically linked to project management, will also be acquired and will prepare the students for their future professional life.

Example of an industrial problem: evaluation of the oxidative stability of perfumed ingredients in the presence of antioxidants

Example of an industrial problem: analysis of allergens in perfumes: technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) of the headspace (HS) followed by analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

Examples of industrial problems: detection and identification of compounds responsible for a taste defect or "off-flavour" by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry

Examples of industrial problems: Know and know how to use the essential physico-chemical analysis techniques implemented during the control of a finished product

Objectives associated with the apprentice's professional projects:

• Know how to respond to an industrial problem.
• Be able to position this problem in a more general context and in relation to the state of the art.
• To be able to elaborate specifications related to the problem and to propose original solutions.
• Develop a plan of experiments in collaboration with the other members of the group.
• Manage your safety and that of others, act as a responsible chemist.

• Implement the security adapted to a formulation or a synthesis

• Master extraction, analysis, characterization and formulation techniques from various fields to successfully complete the project assigned.
• Know how to analyze/interpret data, critically analyze the results obtained in relation to the initial objectives and the state of the art, be able to adapt one's approach according to successes and failures.
• Communicate the results associated with the project through a scientific report or a technical note and an oral presentation to a jury.
