Master structureMaster thesis

The Professional project– 4th semester is part of the program– Tutored by ME3 professors

Final report and Defence ~ July-2013

YEAR 2


Part 4 : Master Thesis – RESEARCH PROJECT - 30 ECTSThe 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.

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.
