Description
This EU concerns students enrolled in the "Work-study" profile of the Master's degree in Water Resources. It incorporates the various phases spent within the host structure and thus corresponds to the recognition of the work carried out by students as part of their apprenticeship or continuing education (professional training contract). It is a major phase in their future integration, most often into the organization that offered them the apprenticeship or professional training contract.
The topics are varied and cover a range of issues in the water and environment sectors.
A phase of formalization of an issue addressed in the host structure, a phase of implementation of an approach, and a phase of execution and analysis of results are expected. The whole process must be reported in accordance with the terms defined between the host structure and the educational advisor.
A thesis is required for academic assessment. This thesis may be supplemented by deliverables requested by the host organization, which may or may not be included in the thesis.
Assessments (written and oral) may be conducted confidentially.
Objectives
The objective of this EU is to develop professional experience in an organization likely to recruit future graduates of the program. The internship should provide a better understanding of the professional environment and the development of personal qualities.
Another objective of this EU is to acquire the necessary expertise to address the issues encountered in the design office, company, or institute where the apprenticeship or professional training contract is taking place, with a work placement in the company enabling students to understand the different facets of the profession of engineer specializing in the water and environment sector.
At the end of the apprenticeship year, students write a report on their apprenticeship within the company or organization and present it orally to a panel of professionals from the academic and private sectors.
