Students work in teams on three real projects proposed by partner companies. The course alternates between creativity sessions, ideation workshops, and time spent confronting the needs of companies. Supervised by external speakers (experts in innovation strategy, experts in digital communication, experts in HMI (Human Machine Interface) and Page Langing (internet domain for communication and online business), students learn to explore original avenues, structure their ideas and build an innovation strategy. The emphasis is placed on the approach, more than on the technical solution chosen: students do not develop the technical aspects (mechanical design, computer design, materials, energies, etc.) but focus on proposing a strategic and inspiring vision for the company. The alternation between business project and expert interventions allows students to progress in a measured and supervised manner.

1. This course comprises a number of lecture classes and lab work which cover the following points:
- Why should we be concerned with energy efficiency?
- What is energy efficiency?
- Measuring energy efficiency
- Global and local methods
2. This project is structured around various sessions of group work with access to the necessary computer resources. Students have the possibility to meet with a professor at different steps of the project in order to verify that their project is on the right tracks.

Students work on a project involving the design of an automotive suspension system.
They are required to reuse a significant portion of the concepts studied in previous years, including:

- Strength of materials
- Materials selection
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

To reinforce and complement their knowledge, lectures are provided throughout the project on the following topics:

-Fundamentals of suspension systems
-Review of strength of materials
-Management of assemblies using finite element methods
-Review of CAD
-Review of material selection
-Assemblies using threaded fasteners

A written exam assesses the theoretical components.

At the end of the project, students must present their parts in English and submit a technical report.

TOEIC preparation:
Close study of practice papers.
Revision of grammar and vocabulary.
Strategies and techniques for the TOEIC

Advanced English:

First part is a student-led discussion based on a variety of sources provided at the beginning of the module. Sources originate from newspapers, podcasts, websites etc. Students are encouraged to choose unfamiliar subjects and themes in order to expand vocabulary and lexical range. Teachers provide feedback and grammar corrections at the end of every session.

Second part is a workshop. Groups of 2 or 3 students lead a workshop they have previously prepared on a subject appropriate for final year engineering students. Interactive elements, debates and active participation are encouraged. Teachers and peers provide feedback after each session.

Following their workshop, students complete a 750-word report evaluating their performance and reflecting on its success.

Students choose 2 of the following modules:

This module aims to obtain the internation certification : Certified Supply Chain Analyst (CSCA). This certification from ISCEA (International Supply Chain Education Alliance) is distributed by Fapics (Association Française de Supply Chain Management). This french and international recognition offers a sharp advantage on your curiculum for the jobs in Supply Chain, manufacturing management, logistics, engineering process and planning. You will learn international vocabulary and a culture about the managemet of physical, financial and informatoin flows.

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

Marketplace est un serious game immersif, intense et rapide. Pendant trois jours, vous serez plongé dans l'univers de la prise de décision stratégique. Vous travaillerez avec vos équipes pendant la pause déjeuner et le soir. Vous serez également amené à travailler de manière autonome pendant les sessions.

Pour être compétitif sur Marketplace, vous devez prendre un large éventail de décisions. Ces décisions s'inspirent de décisions réelles prises par de jeunes entreprises. Chaque décision a été limitée à ses dimensions les plus importantes afin de garantir la maîtrise du jeu. Néanmoins, la complexité et le réalisme sont suffisants pour vous mettre au défi.

Le véritable défi du jeu, comme dans les nouvelles entreprises réelles, réside dans la nécessité de prendre continuellement un grand nombre de décisions stratégiques et tactiques concurrentes. La décision publicitaire ou de développement de marché est constante pendant la prise de décision tarifaire.

Vous devez non seulement vous soucier des compromis au sein de chaque domaine de décision, mais aussi évaluer les compromis entre les domaines de décision. L'un des atouts de Marketplace réside dans l'apprentissage de la gestion d'un univers dynamique et complexe.
La Marketplace vous permettra également de vous entraîner à la prise de décisions stratégiques et tactiques. Après avoir identifié vos options et pesé le pour et le contre de chacune, vous devrez vous engager dans une démarche. L'issue de cette action sera toujours incertaine, mais vous constaterez que vous pouvez formuler des hypothèses éclairées et en tirer des enseignements au cours du trimestre suivant. Vous pourrez ensuite procéder à des ajustements afin de gérer même les décisions les plus douteuses (notre recul est bien plus judicieux que notre anticipation).

Le contenu, le contexte et l'objectif pédagogique de chaque décision à prendre dans la simulation sont présentés dans les chapitres accessibles sous l'icône Aide. Ce fichier d'aide contient une discussion conceptuelle des décisions à prendre. Les informations fournies ici vous aideront à vous familiariser avec chaque étape du processus décisionnel. Les décisions sont présentées approximativement dans l'ordre dans lequel elles seraient exécutées en situation réelle, de la formation de l'équipe de direction à l'analyse de marché, en passant par la conception de la marque, la publicité, les ressources humaines, la distribution, la fabrication et le financement. Ce processus étape par étape vous aidera à organiser votre prise de décision pendant le jeu.

Il est recommandé de revoir d'abord l'intégralité du contenu de chaque chapitre afin de bien appréhender le contexte décisionnel. Ensuite, installez-vous à votre ordinateur et analysez chaque décision à prendre. Il est important de saisir physiquement les décisions et d'analyser les effets des décisions alternatives. Cette expérience pratique vous permettra de vous familiariser avec les conséquences de vos décisions.

Enfin, la section « Décisions à prendre par trimestre » vous aidera à organiser votre travail tout au long de l'exercice de simulation.
