English language

Organisation and examination :

All year long, with partial in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

The aim of this course is to train students to manage a multi-disciplinary project that puts into practice the theoretical material taught in the "Electronic control systems" and "Embedded systems" classes. The project consists in designing, developing, building and testing an electronically controlled system, including its power supply. The theme of the project can be chosen amongst a list of subjects, and can be coupled with external projects such as the "ingénieurs de projets" contest.

Learning outcomes of the course :

By the end of the course, the students will have gained a practical knowledge of project management methods and tools, and will have exploited them for the realization of a practical project. They will also have put into practice the material taught in the "Electronic control systems" and "Embedded systems" courses.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

"Electronic control systems", "Embedded systems" and "Linear control systems" courses.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

- Project management workshops - Practical project carried out by independent groups of 3 or 4 students, with access to a laboratory and with the support of assistants and technicians.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Face-to-face.
