This course reinforces the general knowledge on Sustainable Development (SD) acquired in the 1st year and proposes the students to develop some concrete actions towards Sustainable Development in their projects.
During S5, students identify a concrete issue in their surrounding environment, and provide a diagnosis of the situation. They also develop an action plan to implement some concrete actions that could improve the problem situation. During S6, students must implement their solution : implementation can take different forms, and results must be ideally measured. Students must adopt a critical viewpoint on their results and present / demonstrate them during the European Sustainable Development week (May).

Workshops are mixing three types of activities:
- A practical work or experiment related to the pathway
- Series of conferences or round tables with professionals
- Visits of industrial companies' sites


"Robotics & automation" workshop
The goal of the workshop is to build a robotic system called Polargraph: the system receives an image as input and draws its contour on a whiteboard as output.
First, the students study the mechanical structure of the system to define its specifications.
Second, they learn the basics of computer vision during a 4-hours session lab.
Third, they setup the system (electronic and mechanic) components, program the contour detection algorithm in Python, and the control algorithm on the Arduino board.
Finally, they test the limits of the system by manipulating several parameters (e.g. frame rate).


"Energy" workshop
i. Students will design the blades, and plan the performance: power vs. wind speed velocity. At this step, aerodynamics and optimization of the design are the two main bricks to focus on.
ii. then they will build the electric circuit, connect it to the DC generator and the Boost converter and verify and test the good operation of the circuit
iii. Students should finally, assemble all the parts (blades on axis, motor on support/tower)


"Mechanical engineering workshop
1- The students will design, using CREO, a mechanical crane that should be able tohold and transport an object in space. The model is sized based on the mechanical components given to the students at the beginning of the workshop (bearings, gears). The total weight of the crane and its volume should be minimized.

2- The CAD design of the crane arm will be then imported to the numerical simulation Ansys software where a FEM (Finite Element) analysis is performed to check the ability of the arm to withstand the maximum force acting upon it. A topology optimization is also performed and the design can be then improved accordingly
(A tutorial video about this simulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLBpQVhfXIc).

3- Finite element programming of the basic equations with the help of MATLAB language should be realized to study the deformation of the crane arm. The FEM results of the arm using Ansys software should be compared with the analytical solution of finite element method. Please refer to annex for details

4- Once the design is finalized, the final CAD model is 3D-printed using PLS or ABS materials.

5- The prototype is run by servo motor controlled by Arduino to control the speed and the direction of the arm.

6- A test is performed to assess the ability of the prototype to carry the weight.
