PRACTICAL PROJECTS

Key moments of our competency-based approach

The Competency-Based approach

As part of its competency-based approach, ISEL implements practical projects to integrate various skills in a complex context that closely mirrors real-world workplace practices.

In addition to internships, ISEL is progressively introducing key initiatives such as Industrial and Logistics Projects (PIL) and serious games.

INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTIC PROJECTS (PIL)

The Industrial and Logistics Projects are assignments provided by companies and carried out by groups of 5th-year students, addressing a company’s logistics challenges.

These projects are supervised by a Research or Study Engineer, ISEL faculty or research professors, and a company mentor. Students dedicate 125 hours to tackling real-world issues in companies across the country, resulting in evaluations and deliverables for the companies.

Topics are proposed no later than mid-September of the current academic year.

SOME EXAMPLES
OF PIL PROJECTS

Recovery of batteries from mall Mobility Devices

The development of electric mobility is a French and European priority for advancing the energy transition. Simultaneously, the battery recycling sector must also expand.

The Le Havre region offers a favorable ecosystem and strategic geographic location for the development of activities related to small batteries.

Furthermore, the anticipated growth in the use of small electric mobility devices necessitates preparing for the large-scale recycling of used batteries once their performance no longer meets their intended purposes.

Le Havre Seine Métropole

Le Havre Seine Métropole, through its Economic Development and Smart Port City departments, has partnered with ISEL to assess the relevance and feasibility (economic factors, logistics networks, resources, etc.) of establishing a recovery and recycling sector for small mobility batteries.

Logistics Optimization for Normandy brewers

How can logistics performance be optimized across the network of Norman brewers?

This project aimed to design a logistical organization connecting the production sites of around 100 brewers across Normandy’s five departments to a central hub for consolidation, repackaging, and redistribution.

Several scenarios were analyzed, including storage solutions, consolidation methods, transportation options, and connections with freight and maritime export networks.

Study Chain Study for a Scallop Sheel recycling plant

In this project, students analyzed the supply chain of the company Providentiel Coquillages to establish operations in Normandy.

They applied many skills acquired during their training, such as optimizing transportation costs and conducting feasibility studies, recycling, and promoting a circular economy within the region.

Serious Game on Supply Chain Management

The Serious game is a powerful learning tool, based on digital resources. This system can put forward complex situations in the world of work in a fun way, with the interaction of many different skills: technical, project, time and team management.

A highlight for students from all our courses, students with student status and 5th year work-study students. Our latest Serious Game 2022 targeted a mission to improve the situation of a company and obtain the best ROI (Return on Investment) over several rounds. The groups, working in competition , learn to deepen their approach and surpass themselves.
