During the last two years, 260 hours are devoted to solving a real problem in a company or research laboratory, which is the culmination of the engineering training.
The first part, known as the “partner study”, puts the groups of students in the position of managing a full-scale project, from market research to cost evaluation, including defining and managing deliverables, drafting a file to help them choose solutions, and drawing up a quality plan.
The second part, known as the PFE (Projet de fin d’études – end-of-studies project), covers a number of points relating to innovation, a bibliographical study linked to the research aspects, as well as specifications, a functional diagram, and the creation of a prototype.
This is then put into practice in the “technical” part, which has the educational objective of supplementing knowledge through practice (reactive teaching). This learning can be achieved through projects such as installing smart charging stations for electric vehicles, implementing Machine Learning from user data solutions for the retail sector, or automating at the port of Dunkirk.
