This course deals with research, its place in society as well as its achievement, researchers and communication, within the framework of research. It is divided as follows: scientific research and society; knowledge structure; organization of scientific research; carrying out the research; communication of research results; master’s and doctoral studies; ethics in research.
Activity intended for two categories of students:
- those who participate in the various engineering competitions;
- and those who wish to carry out research initiation work (development of a literature review, definition of a problem, or other).
In both cases, they must first have the director of the department approve a written proposal specifying the objective, the necessary means and the methodology they intend to use to carry out their project. This activity leads to the drafting of a technical report and an oral presentation.
