Introduction to the module
The Challenge Projets d'Entreprendre® is an emblematic event that brings together three major academic institutions on campus: IMT-BS, TELECOM SudParis and ENSIIE. The event is made possible by an annual collaboration with select corporate partners.
The competition, conceived as a unique pedagogical tool, takes place in two essential stages:
The first phase sees a call out to second-year students from all three schools, encouraging them to form interdisciplinary teams. The balance between engineering and management skills is a crucial prerequisite for the formation of these teams, with precise guidelines for team composition based on the total number of students participating across the three schools.
The second phase of the Challenge takes place during an intensive week in the spring, when teams focus entirely on developing innovative entrepreneurial projects. To this end, they benefit from the support and advice of experienced professionals.
Teams are then required to submit a complete dossier of their project, including a prototype and an oral presentation. These projects are evaluated by a panel of jurors who attend the pitches of the various teams. This panel is made up of teachers and professionals from different sectors, guaranteeing an exhaustive and relevant assessment of each proposal.

Evaluation and grading system and catch up exams
the student must obtain a minimum mark of 10/20. This mark is the result of two main evaluation criteria.
On the one hand, students are assessed on the quality of the business projetc and the oral presentation (pitch) made by the groups in front of the campus experts and teacher-researchers.
The active participation of students during the Challenge week is also taken into account.
For more details on the evaluation criteria, please consult the Challenge rules and regulations available on the Moodle platform.
Module Policies
Professor-Student Communication
● The professor will contact the students through their school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and the Moodle portal. No communication via personal email addresses will take place. It is the student responsibility to regularly check their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox.
● Students can communicate with the professor by emailing him/her to his institutional address. If necessary, it is possible to meet the professor in his office during office-hours or by appointment.
Students with accommodation needs
If a student has a disability that will prevent from completing the described work or require any kind of accommodation, he may inform the program director (with supporting documents) as soon as possible. Also, students are encouraged to discuss it with the professor.
Class behavior
● Out of courtesy for the professor and classmates, all mobile phones, electronic games or other devices that generate sound should be turned off during class.
● Students should avoid disruptive and disrespectful behavior such as: arriving late, leaving early, careless behavior (e.g. sleeping, reading a non-course material, using vulgar language, over-speaking, eating, drinking, etc.). A warning may be given on the first infraction of these rules. Repeated violators will be penalized and may face expulsion from the class and/or other disciplinary proceedings.
● The tolerated delay is 5 minutes. Attendance will be declared on Moodle during these 5 minutes via a QR code provided by the teacher at each course start.
● Student should arrive on time for exams and other assessments. No one will be allowed to enter the classroom once the first person has finished the exam and left the room. There is absolutely no exception to this rule. No student can continue to take an exam once the time is up. No student may leave the room during an examination unless he / she has finished and handed over all the documents.
● In the case of remote learning, the student must keep his camera on unless instructed otherwise by the professor.
Honor code
IMT-BS is committed to a policy of honesty in the academic community. Conduct that compromises this policy may result in academic and / or disciplinary sanctions. Students must refrain from cheating, lying, plagiarizing and stealing. This includes completing your own original work and giving credit to any other person whose ideas and printed materials (including those from the Internet) are paraphrased or quoted directly. Any student who violates or helps another student violate academic behavior standards will be penalized according to IMT-BS rules.
