Company project: project validation

The industrial project must be in line with the company's concerns and objectives. Through this project, the apprentice must be put in the position of a future engineer, and must demonstrate his or her ability to fulfil this role from both a scientific and project management point of view. In all cases, the project must include scientific and technical aspects, as well as technical and economic aspects, legislation (industrial property), regulations (standards), etc., which will be developed to a greater or lesser extent depending on the project.
In the presentation, the apprentice must indicate the mission to be fulfilled, the methodology to be followed and the expected results. The jury should then be able to assess the apprentice's ability to fulfil this mission and become an engineer.

The assessment takes place halfway through the course. It is on the basis of the project presented orally and validated that the apprentice can be put into practice. The project must be defined by the apprentice master. The apprentice is responsible for preparing the project for validation, in discussion with his or her educational tutor and in consultation with the apprenticeship master. It's up to the apprentice to ask his or her training tutor to present his or her validation project.
This presentation outline is given as a guide:
*1 overhead showing the title of the project, the company where the project will be carried out, the name of the apprentice, the apprenticeship supervisor and the training tutor.
*1 overhead showing the company's general activity, an organization chart of the company with its workforce, the department in which the apprentice will be working, and any inter-departmental relations that may be useful for the project.
*1 transparency on the product, process, etc. involved in the project,
*1 to 2 transparencies on the description of the project (context, objectives) and the stakes for the company, the difficulties to be solved, etc.
*2 slides on the technical aspects of the project (highlighting materials, processes, etc.), indicating the human and technical resources deployed, and any internal or external subcontracting, etc. It is important to be able to see the methodology that will be used to achieve the objective.
*1 transparency showing the time schedule (Gantt) of the various actions to be carried out for the entire duration of the project, including the phases of writing the brief. Do not forget to take into account the analysis of technical and economic aspects, legislation (industrial property), regulations (standards), as well as risk analysis... .
