GMP Department Projects
The skills students acquire enable them to create various prototypes throughout their second year. These are supervised projects that cover the full range of skills acquired during the program. Generally, a needs analysis is conducted, followed by the design and fabrication of the prototypes.

Cubsat
The GMP department is involved in the scientific and technical project led by the UM to develop a mini-satellite to test the effects of radiation on data acquisition boards. The GMP department is involved in the design and fabrication of the structure (frame) that will support the boards during their launch into space. The aerospace industry requires that the structure be machined entirely from a solid block of material. This project is unique and will enable a number of technological innovations.
Additional information is available on thederobusta website.
The satellite's launch into orbit can be viewed on theESA website.

Shell Eco-Marathon
The Shell Eco-Marathon is an optional project run entirely by students. We participate mainly for the human aspect of the experience. Throughout the year, a group works on a prototype designed to travel the greatest distance on 1 liter of gasoline. At the end of the school year, a major race is held among different schools from various countries. Despite the competition, there’s a spirit of mutual support. During this week of competition, we share experiences with the other competitors. This project is separate from the regular curriculum but allows us to use the department’s equipment.
