Objectives
- Increasing the capacity to work as an engineer in function.
- Apply theoretical course knowledge in a concrete situation.
- Link the different knowledge of a multidisciplinary technological object.
- Increasing the capacity to work in an uncertain/unpredictable environment that evolves over time.
- Increasing the team work capacity.
Keywords

Programme
The activity is a role-playing game; "in the skin of an engineer.” Students, in groups, work in three engineering professions, linked to each other:
- Design/measurement engineer
- Project engineer.
- Operations engineer.
Learning Outcomes
- First Engineer Mission: Design/measurement Engineer From measurement database model a wind turbine and a map of winds.
- Second Engineer Mission: Project Engineer Propose a wind turbine farm implantation projects on a territory to optimise the electricity production and respecting the constraints (progressing over time).
- Third Engineer Mission: Operations Engineer Solve all problems of the wind farms under the team responsibility.
Assesment
Skills assessment:
- oral presentation
- group observation
- talk with an expert
