Implementation of interactive online practical work on mechanical characterization tests of materials

Period, duration

May and June 2023

Desired profile

Student at a university institute of technology or multimedia computer engineering school

Gratification

Pending agreement and depending on candidate

Location

Annecy-le-Vieux; Mechatronics Center; Symme Laboratory & Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar (Senegal)

Subject

The aim of this course is to give mechanical and civil engineering students access to "experimental machines or devices" via online practical work, as if they were there in person, using interactive videos, multiple-choice questions, and summary sheets.
This system will be deployed in France and Senegal on the Moodle platform, either to complement existing practical work, for validation before a session, or for open access.
The first month of the internship will take place on the Annecy campus, where videos will be recorded to support the online practical work and the project team will develop the online practical work scenario in the spirit of a game where you are the hero, with minimum life points required to move on to the next level. The two characterization tests selected are the tensile test and the 3-point bending test.

A four-week mobility program at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar can be planned at the end of the internship, with the possibility of applying for a regional grant to set up the interactive scenario in Moodle under the supervision of the on-site IT team.
See information and procedure for grant allocation on the USMB website.

Skills:
– Multimedia: video + 3D design
– H5P: for creating interactive videos

Candidates should be interested in discovering the world of research, be curious, proactive, and attracted to the educational aspect that will be developed with the refinement of their remote manipulations.
