Interdisciplinary Project 1 - ER

This course unit allows students to carry out an engineering project in its entirety, in the form of an interdisciplinary engineering study relating to environmental or health impacts, hydrological, hydraulic, and hydrogeological modeling, risk management, etc.

This 5 ECTS course is divided into two parts: a 2 ECTS course in S3 (Interdisciplinary Project 1: Water Resources), followed by a 3 ECTS course in S4 (Interdisciplinary Project 2: Water Resources). These two courses are inseparable, with the second course serving as the culmination of the first.

During the EU Interdisciplinary Project 1 Water Resource, the steps will be:

1. Presentation of case studies by teacher-researchers, researchers, or engineering professionals (issues, fieldwork, available and collectable data, stakeholders, calls for tenders, etc.) on topics related to water resource management, risks (flooding, drought, contamination), or more broadly, environmental impacts. (end of September)
2. Project development phase (formation of project groups and definition of the resolution methodology) in conjunction with the "Project Management 2" EU.
3. Data collection, context analysis, establishing contacts, bibliographic research
4. Preliminary project defense (mid-November)
5. Start of the study (data acquisition, planning of field days, learning to use specific software, etc.)

This course unit should enable students to acquire the greatest possible autonomy, to deal with the constraints of teamwork, and to apply project management methods. They will reinvest and appropriate the measurement techniques seen in field internships as well as the various modeling and data processing tools seen in the various course units of the Master's program. They will be required to summarize their work in a written report and present it orally using a slide show. The questions from the jury will allow them to defend and argue their choices and hypotheses during this project.
