Ten students rewarded for their personal electrical engineering projects
On April 20 and 22, awards were given for the best personal projects created by third-year students as part of their Projet personnel en génie électrique (personal engineering project) course (ELE3000).
Under the guidance of a professor or engineer designated by the department, students were assigned an engineering design mandate. They were asked to produce a professional-quality report that generally included a review of past work, the definition and situation of a problem, the chosen solution method, the results obtained and a discussion. The projects were concluded with a poster presentation.
The jury awarded 10 prizes for the occasion.
