UE T9GLR-B - Project

The 3rd year advanced telecommunications project is designed to provide hands-on experience of the subjects taught in the department.
It runs for the whole of semester 9, in small groups of 5 or 6 engineering students, depending on the year.
Projects are supervised by teacher-researchers and, potentially, in collaboration with industrialists from start-ups, SMEs or major groups. Students work on a variety of technical subjects relating to industrial, research-based and/or multidisciplinary issues.
Student engineers carry out their projects in a special environment, known as the fablabou or the Télécom lab, inspired by the design-centers and innovation centers of partner companies.
It should be noted that this project is sponsored by four major groups, who contribute their expertise in project and program management.
In addition, the student-engineers work on their interpersonal skills, and are required to communicate on their work in different ways and at different stages of the project:

Reporting by e-mail of a few lines to the industrial sponsors and supervisors.
The steering committee in front of the "sponsor" companies, during which each project group has 20 minutes to present the state of progress of its project and the schedule envisaged. They mention any risks identified and justify any delays.
Student engineers are also required to write their reports in English, in the form of a two-column, multi-page scientific paper.
Student engineers also present their work at a 20-minute presentation in English, followed by questions, before a panel of judges made up of industrialists, teacher-researchers and representatives from the language resource center. The jury evaluates the presentation in terms of both form and content. The industrial representatives deliberate to select the most successful projects in terms of technical execution, project management and commercialization. It should be noted that in semester 9, a tutorial session is scheduled in advance with a language teacher: students are given a blank presentation and work on phonology, metalanguage and slide clarity. The final oral presentation is the culmination of the knowledge built up over the three years of language training.

The 3rd year advanced project is assessed on the basis of three elements:

the grade for the work done, based on an evaluation provided by the project supervisors.
the grade for the report, determined by your group's rapporteur.
the grade for the oral presentation, assigned by a mixed jury including teachers and/or industrialists.
