Professional projects – monitoring apprentice projects

Professional placement for M1 ICAP apprenticeship students, who will carry out a project in response to an industrial problem. This project will be supervised by a member of the teaching team (academic or industrial). Conducted throughout the semester, this project aims to put into practice the knowledge and skills acquired during the Bachelor's degree and early Master's degree programs. In addition to chemistry-related skills, other interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills intrinsically linked to project management will also be acquired, preparing students for their future professional lives.

Example of an industrial issue: evaluation of the oxidative stability of fragrant ingredients in the presence of antioxidants

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

Examples of industrial issues: detection and identification of compounds responsible for off-flavors using gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry

Examples of industrial issues: Understanding and knowing how to use the essential physical and chemical analysis techniques used in the inspection of a finished product.

Hourly volumes:

            CM: 5 hours

            Tutorial: 5 hours

            Practical work: 40 hours

The objectives associated with the apprentice's professional projects:

• Knowing how to respond to an industrial issue.
• Be able to place this issue in a broader context and in relation to the state of the art.
• Be able to draw up specifications relating to the issue at hand and propose original solutions.
• Develop a plan of experiments in collaboration with other members of the group.
• Manage your own safety and that of others, act as a responsible chemist.

• Implement security measures appropriate for a formulation or synthesis

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