Learning unit contents
The group project is a compulsory teaching activity organized in the framework of the module AGRO2.10 Group project which includes this course (4 credits) and the course Conceiving and economic assessment of project : food crop and agroforestry (2 credits).
This project is an interdisciplinary activity realized by group of 3 to 6 students under the direction of a project director assisted by different people of the Faculty and outside the Faculty.
Each year, a list of subjects is presented during the first course. These subjects always refer to the agronomic sciences taken in the broad sense.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of the group project is to train you in the management of a thematic project in the field of agronomic sciences from its conception to the presentation of its main results.
This group project should enable you to synthetise your knowledge and know-how acquired during your training, to train you to the autonomous learning of new knowledge and know-how, and to develop your skills in resolving of a specific problem in the agronomic sciences.
This course contributes to the acquisition of the following skills:
- Designing, dimensioning and optimizing an integrated, sustainable and resilient plant and animal production system adapted to the contexts (Certificative evaluation)
- Design and implement an innovative, high-performance solution that takes into account technical and / or environmental and / or economic constraints in response to a bioengineering problem (Certificative evaluation) or Design a decision-making tool taking into account technical and / or environmental and / or economic constraints, in response to a bioengineering problem (Certificative evaluation) or Advising and distributing plant protection products for professional use, taking into account technical and / or environmental and / or economic constraints and / legal (Certificative evaluation) depending on the subject
- Plan and implement activities related to specific project objectives
- Manage all the financial, human and technical resources and resources of a project in order to meet its overall objective
- Implement methods of organizational, technical and economic optimization of a process (Certificative evaluation)
- Participate in the implementation of a collaborative work (Certificative evaluation)
- Evaluate the socio-economic and environmental impacts of a technical project
- Write in French a document adapted to the target audience on a complex subject
- Present in French a complex subject in terms adapted to the target audience (Certificative evaluation)
- Effectively argue and discuss results and recommendations by adapting to the target audience
- Maintain and develop skills
