The Professional project
– 4th semester is part of the program – Tutored by ME3 professors
Final report and Defence ~ July-2013
•Who's who •Master Struc. •Life around •Life outside The objective of the Industrial Internship, in response to an industrial need, is to allow the students to experiment a real industry environment and the corresponding professional life.
The Industrial Internship must respond to a real need in an industrial enterprise or in a science/technology-oriented organisation, and is the work of a true engineer.
Part 4 : Master Thesis – RESEARCH PROJECT - 30 ECTS
The objective of the research project is to allow the students : to experiment a real research environment and the corresponding professional/academic life to actively participate in a research project, whether it is strictly scientific or development-oriented.
The reseach project is related to a real industrial problem or challenge addressed by a research team in one of the ME3 hosting institutions. It allows the student to put into practice his/her achievements and skills (knowledge, know-how, professional behaviour) and is the work of a true research-engineer.
