2 full days
This practice is based on the principles of economics and the notion of flows.
4 teams represent 4 different companies. They each start their activity on an identical basis, that is to say a market study, the amount of equity and a production capacity.
Different decisions lead to different activity developments.
Decisions are taken in the field of production, financial, business strategies, purchases or risk management.
Members in the team meet with different business partners, such as sub-contractors, banks, insurance, suppliers, etc. These roles are acted by the facilitation team.
Teams work around a fictitious time frame of 4 semesters.
During the last half-day, each team presents a report on its activities. These reports are analyzed by the group though a comparison between different strategic and operational choices and their consequences over this virtual 2-year venture.

Business simulation THE BLUE CONNECTION (publisher INCHAINGE) which students will play via a web interface (in English).
ECAM La Salle is a forerunner in the deployment of this game (we work in parallel with professors from HEC).
The game takes place in 6 to 8 rounds, the students work in teams of 3 or 4 and each plays the role of a manager within the fictitious company The Blue Connection:
- Sales management
- Purchasing/design department
- Supply chain management
- Finance department
The company sells bicycles (only one model) to 3 different customers and is in great financial difficulty. The goal of this game is to make the company profitable while developing a circular economy.
In each round, the students test and deploy a circularity or life extension strategy (maintenance/warranty, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling).
In the final rounds, they must choose their own strategy, implement it and explain it in an individual report.

The Research and Development projects are, for the most part, conducted in partnership with companies.

At the beginning of the semester, the various project areas (Digital, Industrial Management, Materials & Structures, Energy) are presented as well as the number of students that can be accepted. Each student needs to choose a project area and a corresponding project.

The R&D projects are generally completed in groups of two people.
The R&D projects include in varying proportions depending upon the subject matter:
- Rewriting the specifications, project organization and client relations management
- Structuring communication with the head teacher

- Literature review
- Study of theory
- Experimental study
- Result formatting and presentation of progression during technical meetings

-Compiling final case study (files, computer programs), detailed documentation

-Final presentation (defense examination) for validation

Methodology
Conduct of several multidisciplinary projects alone and/or in a team highlighting the skills developed during the ecam training
Educational content
Students must know how to solve problems such as:
- technical project: Creation of a vegetable garden with intelligent programming of watering with recovered water and electricity generated by solar panels + big data (digitalization of the vegetable garden)
- Moodle project: integration of an existing project at ECAM into an educational platform: integration of grade management, groups, multiple choice questions, communications, announcements, scheduling, ... take advantage of the educational advantages of the platform on an already existing project

Innovation defines all the scientific, technological, organizational, financial and commercial approaches that result in the production of technologically new and/or improved products/processes. The spirit of innovation ultimately means telling yourself that there is innovation behind every problem and that this can/must lead to making the world a better place.

For students, this course is a means of professionalization towards areas of expertise at the heart of industrial issues of today and tomorrow. In particular, it allows for a deeper understanding of innovation management. There are multiple objectives:
• Advanced training in creativity and concepts associated with innovation (ideation process, collective intelligence and change, financing and frugal design, design thinking and user experience),
• Initiation to innovation strategies,
• Sensitization of students to entrepreneurship,
• Sensitization to industrial and intellectual property,
• Training in written, oral and verbal communication,
• Improvement in project management and teamwork.

To support the students, multiple conferences are held, each supervised by an expert in his field, around the following themes:
• The concepts behind innovation (the concept of change, concept of heresy, concept of revolution, concept of combination, etc.),
• Innovation strategies (Technology Push, Market Pull, Push – pull, etc.),
• Innovation and creativity in businesses today,
• Innovation: financing strategy and ROI.

Finally, this course is directly linked to manufacturers who encounter real problems related to innovation. Students are encouraged to visit companies directly on site, when possible. Then, the students challenge each other to find ideas for concepts of “innovative” products/services to respond to the issues raised by companies. Most often, the work of creativity and innovation carried out by students allows companies to research and file patents.

After following one of the three proposed industrial projects, students will have to organize a competition to which other ECAM students will be invited. Its objective is to build the strongest possible structure from simple materials. The students of the course will oversee monitoring the smooth running of it.
the computer tools that make it possible to carry out a geometric modeling of an object in order to be able to simulate tests with a view to manufacturing, • Use of PLM software: corresponds to all the processes, technologies, software and methods put in place to properly manage the life cycle of a product. The practical part allows the student to apply his knowledge through a team project comprising the following phases: • Discovery of the main functions of the CAD tool and configuration of the 3D model, • Complete modeling of the project proposed by the teacher, • Integration of CAD data into the PLM, • Creation of definition plans for each part, and overall drawings, • Writing of a complete mechanical design report.

The final engineering internship will be conducted either:
- Within a company or laboratory in France
- In a company abroad or in a university laboratory working in partnership with companies
It will be based on an industrial theme; scientific, technical or organizational.
It must take place under the supervision of an engineer. A clearly defined assignment must be proposed by the company. Success or failure will be evaluated according to the student's performance and ability to fulfill the requirements set forth by the company.
The assessment of this training session will be performed by the trainee's supervisor and a supervising professor designated by the Director of studies.
Assessment charts are used to measure the trainee's quality of work, as well as the quality of the written report and oral defense.

The internship must last a minimum of 21 weeks.
