Industrial Field Study

It takes place during the second year, in February and March (S4). During this 8-week period, 13 days are spent in a company (in the Rhône Alpes Region) for the Field Study and the rest of the time is spent at school. A specific project is given to a group of three engineering students; they are supervised by an Engineering professor and a Social & Human Science professor as well as a tutor from the company.
 

Main objectives

For companies:

• become familiarised with the Engineering Curriculum at Grenoble INP - Génie industriel'

• provide a mission each week for the students to work on

• a solution to the problem at hand must be provided at the end of the mission

 
For students:

• apply Industrial Engineering knowledge and skills in a real-life situation

• successfully adapt to a professional situation

• organise and manage working in small groups

 For the school:

• supervise and evaluate a group of engineering students in a professional situation

• be aware of current issues in industry and take into account changes and development when updating training programmes

• use some of the Industrial Field Studies as examples for study cases
