This project aims at developing the students engineering skills via a design project, from the initial idea until technical developments. The project is focused on product innovation. It is a multidisciplinary project: teams are composed of students from the 4 concentrations in robotics, mechanical design, energy engineering and industrial & supply chain management. The project is decomposed into 2 main phases: 1. Problem exploration and analysis 2. Technical development and entrepreneurship The main skills targeted are: Phase 1 (SEMESTER 7) - Manage a project: plan, manage, communicate, respect deadlines and commitments, provide feedback - Manage team collaboration: work in a multidisciplinary team, organize the tasks and distribute the roles, organize the decision-making process, self-evaluate the teamwork. - Use the creativity tools and animate some creativity sessions in autonomy: for the early design steps (concepts) and for problem-solving. - Write a mission letter: be able to imagine a business context, clarify the project goals and resources - Identify and analyse a potential market, write a marketing requirements document - Analyse the potential user behaviours by adopting a user-centred approach and Design for Sustainable Behaviour tools, define users' profiles and persona - Identify and prioritize the main functions by using Functional Analysis, define performance criteria: write the functional requirements of the product - Identify and describe use scenarios and use cases, define usability criteria, write the interactional requirements of the product Phase 2 (SEMESTER 8): - Use problem-solving creativity tools to specify the potential technological solutions: define the Technical Product Architecture - Use the Technical Functional Analysis and write the technical requirements of the product - Commit to relevant technical developments that are consistent with the available time and resources - Ensure the realization of the technical developments (related to all the engineering fields taught at Ecam) and organize the "concurrent engineering" development - Adopt an entrepreneurship approach on the product: realize a profit/loss forecast and a financing plan - Understand the main principles and interest of using Virtual Reality as design support to test the use scenarios - Test the technical performances of the developed parts and check the gaps with the requirements - Realize the business plan of the developed product - Pitch and present the final solution in front of a multidisciplinary jury board |
