Description
General aim:
- Analyze a system by integrating knowledge from different disciplines.
- Implement a design approach to achieve given performances.
- Return work
- Team working
Content: The subject of this general area is “dynamic systems”. This is an opportunity to approach differential equations from another angle, adapted to practice by showing their importance in several fields of engineering. A course dedicated to these objectives is provided during this period. Students also work in teams of four, supervised or independently, and carry out different activities that create synergy between electronics, computing and mechanics: Experiments on oscillating systems, taking measurements, formatting experimental results , simulation, analogies, comparison experiment/simulation/theory. These activities take them as far as sizing the shock absorber of the landing gear of a fighter plane. This general area is also an opportunity to work orally in French and English to report on the work carried out, as well as writing with a summary report.
Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv)
AAv 1 [heures: 24,B2,B3] (Dynamic system): At the end of General Zone 2, students are able, on a given example, to reveal the constants (of time, of natural pulsation, of factor damping, gain), to calculate them analytically or numerically, to relate them to the physical properties of the systems and their temporal evolution.
AAv2 [heures: 14, B2, B3, B4] ((electronics / mechanics): At the end of ZG2, the group of students is able to correctly measure and identify the influence of physical parameters (Electronics: R , L, C - Mechanics: k, m, lambda) on the response of the system (damping, pseudo-period and natural frequency) of the 2nd order in two different ways: using simulation software OR physically with experimental models to be built . All the measurements and simulation results will be summarized in a document to be completed.
AAv3 [heures: 14, E3, F1, F2] (communication): At the end of ZG2, each student will be able to succinctly describe, in writing, orally and by means of a projected presentation the multidisciplinary work of their group , in interaction/on good terms with the members of his group, respecting a given structure.
AAv4 [heures: 5] (English): At the end of ZG2, students will be able to explain in a group, orally, in non-technical English and in terms accessible to an uninitiated audience, the work carried out as part of the project, and to take a step back from their performance in order to identify possible points for improvement.
AAv5 [heures: 18, C2, C3, D3, D4] : At the end of ZG2, the group of students must be able to use the modeling and simulation of a physical system with an iterative approach to solve an engineering sizing problem, respecting given specifications. The entire iterative process will be summarized in a document to be completed.
AAv6 [heures: 7, B3, B4, D3, F1] (computer science): At the end of the first week of ZG2 the student will be able with their PC, in a few minutes, to produce, manipulate or display time series described in CSV format, by writing a Python program which is inspired by the examples provided and respects the coding standards of the S2-IPI course.
AAv7 [heures: 20, C2, D1, D2, D3, D4] (electronics): At the end of ZG2, the group of students will be able to build a system from elementary bricks (discrete component and microprogrammed technologies ) in the field of measurement acquisition, based on specifications, to implement and test it.
Assessment methods
Orals and a written report allow the AAv to be evaluated. Students will have to submit their work in the form of a report and interviews with teachers.
