In addition to projects completed in lesson modules, you will do a yearly project working as a team. This allows you to implement a project management methodology in a large-scale application.

Two stages are required for this project:

• Analysis stage: developing a schedule, devolving a specification and design project...
• Realisation stage: application development and test, application deployment, ...

Aims:

• To develop a development language dealt with in class (C, C++, XML language, Web development...)
• To implement a project management methodology in a large-scale application.
• To do a technical study, a written report and oral presentation.

Organisation:

• Projects are carried out in pairs
• Each pair can chose their subject and be monitored by a tutor throughout the project (three follow-up meetings will be organised)
• Project sessions are scheduled into the timetable. You must find other hours outside of the school's schedule.

Evaluation

• Follow-up meetings
• Handing over of intermediary documentation
• Final report
• Oral presentation before a jury

Subjects

• All subjects must abide by the following instructions: application of techniques studied in the first year.
• The aim of this project is to apply and develop basic project management notions and not to spend all your time on the technical part.
• You are asked to submit three documents about how your project is progressing (specifications file, design file and test file).
