IP Requirements

General Data
Academic program	ECAM LaSalle Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Programme			Module Manager(s) : JUSTON Axel
EC Type : Lectures	IP Requirements (LIIEEng07EIPRequirements)
Tutorials : 2h00 Lectures : 4h00 Project : 12h00 Individual work : 15h00 Total duration: 18	Status	Period Semester 7	Teaching language : English

General objectives
The Innovation Project is a multidisciplinary teamwork experience where students from various engineering fields collaborate on a product innovation. Spanning two semesters, the project follows all phases of an R&D process—from opportunity analysis to technical development. By the end of this phase, students will be able to: Translate user needs and marketing insights into clear product requirements Conduct both functional and interactional analyses of their product concept Define usage scenarios and usability criteria based on target user profiles Specify functional and non-functional requirements using measurable indicators Integrate Human Factors principles to account for user capabilities and limitations Identify contextual constraints and turn user pain points into innovation opportunities
