Description
The objective of this EU is to develop a new product. The idea or new requirement is initiated by the project group, which consists of a maximum of two or three students. This innovative project covers the different phases of a project, from the statement of requirements to the creation of a functional prototype (see pre-industrialization of the product), including analysis of the competition, research into possible solutions, definition of validated solutions, and drafting of patent claims once the technical solution has been defined. This innovative project is linked to five other teaching units:
CAD and prototyping, which involves creating a digital model and building a functional prototype;
graphic design in which the student develops communication elements for this innovative project: packaging, poster, presentation video, website homepage;
eco-design in which students define the "environmental value of their innovative product."
