Main themes
This project covers all civil engineering disciplines. The theme is chosen based on the data available at the time of the project, usually based on an actual project, completed or in progress.
For example, it could be:
Volume 2 will focus on the project itself and supporting students in their design and calculation process
For example, it could be:
- A concrete or steel bridge or footbridge.
- An ecoduc.
- An observation tower.
- A water tower.
- A hydraulic engineering structure (dam, lock, etc.) and its associated structures.
- An underground or urban structure (tunnel, road, metro, etc.).
- The development of a technical landfill site.
Volume 2 will focus on the project itself and supporting students in their design and calculation process

Teaching methods
EX cathedra courses and supervised studio sessions
Evaluation methods
There is no second session possible for this project. Students absent during the first session of week 1 without valid proof will be excluded from the project. Any other unjustified absence will be penalized by a reduction of two points in the final grade.
The evaluation will be made on the basis of:
• Participation and attendance during sessions.
• The quality of the intermediate reports and the final report.
• The quality of the intermediate and final presentations.
• An individual oral examination covering all aspects of the project may be planned.
Different grades may be awarded to students in the same group based on their attendance at the sessions, their answers to the questions asked during the intermediate and final defenses, their participation in writing the report, their individual examination, etc.
Good knowledge of all aspects of this project/course is necessary for success.
In written reports, the student is required to systematically indicate all parts where AI (such as ChatGPT) has been used, e.g. in a footnote specifying whether AI was used to search for information, to draft the text or to correct it. Furthermore, sources of information must be systematically cited while respecting bibliographic referencing standards. The student also remains responsible for the content of his or her production, regardless of the sources used.
