PRACTICAL PROJECTS
The skills-based approach
As part of our skills-based approach, ISEL sets up practical projects to combine different skills within a complex context close to the practices of the world of work.
In addition to internships, ISEL is gradually implementing these innovations such as industrial and logistics projects (ILPs) and serious games.
INDUSTRIAL
AND LOGISTIC PROJECTS (ILPs)
Industrial and Logistics Projects are projects given by companies and carried out by a group of students in the 5th year, relating to one of the company’s logistical problems.
These projects are supervised by a Study or Research Engineer, teachers or teacher-researchers from ISEL and a company tutor. The students devote 125 hours to real problems in companies within the national region, which result in evaluations and deliverables to companies.
The subjects are put forward no later than mid-September of the current academic year.
SOME EXAMPLES
OF ILP PROJECTS
Recycling batteries
from small-scale mobility
The development of electric mobility is a French and European priority to support the energy transition. The battery recycling sector needs to develop in parallel.
The Le Havre region has an ecosystem and favourable geographical position for the development of activity associated with small batteries.
As such, the foreseeable growth in the use of small-scale electric mobility must involve preparing the mass reprocessing of used batteries, once their performance is no longer compatible with their intended use.

Le Havre Seine Métropole
Le Havre Seine Métropole , via the Economic Development and Le Havre, Smart Port City departments, approached ISEL to study the relevance and feasibility (economics, logistics network, resources, etc.) of setting up a recovery sector for small-scale mobility batteries.
Logistical organisation between the production sites of Normandy brewers
How to optimise the logistics performance of the entire network of Normandy brewers?
This is the objective of this project, which studied a logistical organisation between the production sites of around a hundred brewers, spread over the 5 Normandy departments, at a centralisation, repackaging and reshipping point.
Several scenarios have been studied, solutions for storage, grouping, transport, as well as interfaces with freight and maritime export, etc.

Study of supply chain for a scallop recycling plant
In this project, the students studied the logistics chain of the company Providentiel Coquillages for setting up in Normandy.
They applied many of the skills acquired during their training, such as optimising transport costs and a feasibility study, recycling and the circular economy within the region.

Serious Game on the Supply Chain Management theme
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.
