Scientific Project 2

This course unit is conducted in groups or individually. It follows on from the "Scientific Project 1" course unit. It takes place in three stages:
• Implementation: students carry out experiments and analyze the results (rooms and equipment necessary for the experiments are provided).
• Presentation: they prepare the presentation (oral + 5-page article in English) of their experiment, take a critical look at it
and present it to the sponsors, the teaching team, and the other students.
• Critical analysis: students evaluate the other articles (peer-reviewing process) and finalize their article based on the comments received.

The EU's objective is to place students in small groups and give them an open-ended question on "water and agriculture" that they must answer through experimentation, either in silico, in the laboratory, or in situ, using the various skills they have acquired during their studies.
More specifically, this sequence aims to conduct research or experimentation (digital or physical), analyze it, and present it in written (5-page article) and oral form.
