Learning Outcomes
- Manage a research project that is creative, innovative, transversal (technical, scientific, social), and multidisciplinary
- Project to be carried out in independent teams during a 3 week period of time
Content
- Each team will independently organize their work corresponding to an overall schedule. They are expected to develop their project over different rush periods/
- Mission statement: Clearly present the conditions and requirements for the mission. Beforehand, they must isolate project features (mission objectives, scope, timeframe, requirements, confirmation, etc.)
- Marketing Specifications: Identify future client needs, main elements for market positioning. Information related to project timeframe from the demand until market launch. Analysis of competition.
- Creativity: Allowing for innovative solutions and response to current problems. Techincal Protudct Architecture makes up the transition between the creativity phase and the planning phase to go from ideas to solution principals.
- Technical Development: Application of technical knowledge acquired during the program.
- Defense: Oral defense of the project and the applied methodology. Requirement and functional analyses are offered aas well as analyzing the team dynamic over the semester.
- Pitch: Pitching to potential investors (played by fellow ECAM Students) to support their engineering project. Maximum length of 2 minutes.
- Communication: Apply a communication strategy (posters, videos, articles, etc.) to convince potential investors (played by fellow ECAM students) to support their engineering project. Communication may be displayed at the institution.
