M2 FI project

During this course, students will apply the skills acquired during the "Project Management" course to a concrete case, a project to be carried out in groups of 3 to 5 students on behalf of a professional structure (private or public companies, cooperatives, liberal professions, associations, public establishments (universities and research organizations in particular), local authorities, etc.).

The project takes place over a 4-month period, during which the students work part-time, on a rhythm of ½ day a week (Friday mornings).

The project is designed to enable students to put their knowledge and skills to good use outside the university environment, by responding to the specific needs of a professional organization. The project prepares the student to respond to a specific need, acting as an engineering and design service provider in anticipation of their next professional appointment, i.e. their end-of-study internship or first job. It's an enriching experience that can be added to a student's CV, sometimes leading to an internship or even a job.

The projects on offer are diverse and varied: scientific and regulatory watch, state of the art, validation of methods and protocols, data collection and analysis, feasibility studies for creation and innovation, support in the preparation phase of responses to calls for tenders or calls for projects, diagnosis and recommendations, drafting of advisory or training documents, design and implementation of educational and/or teaching activities, design of communication documents, assistance with the organization of events, etc.

How it works: The UE coordinators and each pathway coordinator look for and propose topics that will be open to all students from all pathways (mixed groups are possible if the topic lends itself to it, as do the profiles). Students apply, and the UE coordinator selects the applications and proposes a group structure, which is then rapidly validated by the UE coordinator. The course leaders propose one or more tutors for each proposed project.

Experience in project management and/or completion of the EU "Project Management" course.

This course is designed to put into practice the skills acquired in the "Project Management" course. Projects are proposed at the start of the course. Students may propose their own project, which must meet the requirements of the UE in order to be validated by the UE supervisors.
