This course unit enables students to carry out an engineering project from start to finish, in the form of an interdisciplinary engineering study focusing on environmental or health impacts, hydrological, hydraulic, and hydrogeological modeling, risk management, and more...
This 5-ECTS course unit is divided into two course units: a 2-ECTS course unit in Semester 3 (Interdisciplinary Project 1: Water Resources), followed by a 3-ECTS course unit in Semester 4 (Interdisciplinary Project 2: Water Resources). These two course units are inseparable, as the second serves as the culmination of the first.
During the UE Interdisciplinary Project 1: Water Resources, the steps will be:
- Presentations of case studies by faculty members, researchers, or engineering professionals (problem statement, fieldwork, available and required data, stakeholders, calls for proposals, etc.) on topics related to water resource management, risks (flooding, drought, contamination), or, more broadly, environmental impacts. (late September)
- Project planning phase (formation of project teams and definition of the problem-solving methodology) in conjunction with the “Project Management 2” course
- Data collection, context analysis, establishing contacts, literature review
- Preliminary Project Defense (mid-November)
- Start of the study (data collection, planning fieldwork days, learning how to use specific software, etc.)

This course unit consists of an independent project that will result in a literature review. The topic addressed will be related to the research focus of the research internship to be completed in Semester 4, but may also include related scientific topics.
This literature review will be presented in the form of a report that must adhere to the formatting standards required for scientific books and articles. The document will serve as the bibliographic foundation for the research internship report. The practical exercise required as part of the “Scientific Writing” course will be a prerequisite for beginning the bibliographic synthesis, through the process of defining the research question for your synthesis, developing keywords, etc.
