Under the guidance of a professor or engineer appointed by the department, students are given an engineering design assignment. They have to produce a professional-quality report that generally includes a review of past work, the definition and situation of the problem, the chosen method and solution, the results obtained and a discussion. The project concludes with the poster presentation.

Four prizes were awarded by the jury:

1st prize: Rafik Salah for his project Réalisation d'une main et d'un bras bioniques (creation of a bionic hand and arm)

2nd prize: Catherine Séguin for her project Main artificielle activée par électromyographie (an artificial hand activated by electromyography)

Tie for 3rd prize: Camille Salvas for her project Un goniomètre électronique pour mesurer l'angle de flexion du genou (an electronic goniometer for measuring the knee's flexion angle) and Philippe Martel for his project Conception d'un soulier muni de capteurs de force (design of a shoe equipped with force sensors)
