RESEARCH AND INNOVATION ENGINEER DIPLOMA
What is Mentor ?
Who are they?
Mentors are fellow researchers or teacher-researchers from IDIL's partner laboratories, specializing in one of the program's 10 disciplines.
The role of Mentor
1- Commit in helping one or two students to develop their academic and professional career through research
2- Provide students with complementary notions for acquiring knowledge in a specific discipline
3- Supervise a student’s 6-month internship, both in M1 and M2
4- Involve students in the life of the laboratory (seminars, research programs, team meetings, etc.).
If you would like to become a mentor, please send an e-mail to the head(s) of the relevant Masters’s program.
What is a TUTOR?
Who are they?
IDIL tutors are teacher-researchers from the laboratories (UM) who
will provide pedagogical support to an M1 student in one of the 11 IDIL courses and an engineering program throughout his or her first year.
The role of the tutor
Tutors help students to define individual learning objectives, which are essential disciplinary complements to the "CORE" teaching units of the program.
1st semester: In concrete terms, tutors are involved in supporting students, in consultation with their mentors (who are responsible for their M1 research internship in the second semester), in writing their " Personal Research Project".
2nd semester: Tutors work with the mentor to help the student acquire all the necessary disciplinary knowledge that goes beyond the M1 thesis project.
Being an IDIL tutor requires a good overview of the relevant concepts that MSc students should have acquired by the end of their studies, as well as a commitment to supporting students in their work and professional development.
Tutors are also involved in the assessment and grading of students
in the IDIL program. For their activities, tutors are financially supported
for their activities in the IDIL graduate program (20h TD equivalent).
If you would like to become a tutor, please send an e-mail to the relevant course director.
