Why is it important?
The Team conducted multiple studies, including scientific, technical, sustainability, marketing, ethics and deontological analyses, and discussions to derive the requirements, design the structure, specify the list of materials and components and develop a functional system. Following these studies, the Team assembled, debugged and tested the SetSun prototype successfully.
Perspectives
The goal of EPS@ISEP, while a project based student-centered learning framework, is to help students develop scientific, technical and personal skills, including how to work well in a team and to cooperate in a multicultural environment. EPS is also about planning, observing deadlines and working responsibly together. This process is not always easy since, at this educational level, students are unused to collaborate with colleagues from different nationalities and engineering backgrounds. The students, by working in a team, were forced to divide tasks and rely on each other, while learning from each other and about themselves.
