% - The main content is counted from the introduction to the conclusion, including important figures and tables. The cover page, acknowledgements, table of contents, French/English summaries and appendices are not included in the page count.
% - Clearly present: context, problem statement, methodology, iterations or proposed solutions, results, analyses, personal contribution and future work.
% - Write for a competent reader who is not a specialist in the subject.
% - Avoid a purely chronological account of the internship.
% - Limit internal jargon and acronyms; complete or remove the glossary if necessary.
% - Put detailed calculations, extensive data and secondary material in the appendices. Keep the appendices limited.
% - Have the report proofread by the company supervisor before sending it to INSA, preferably before leaving the company.
%
% [SHORT INTERNSHIP - SUMMER INTERNSHIP / 4TH YEAR]
% - Main content: 6 to 7 pages.
% - Company and department presentation: approximately half a page maximum.
% - Submit on Moodle; the deadline varies by year and is generally at the beginning of the 5th year.
% - The poster must contain no confidential material, comply with the Moodle template, be understandable on its own, and be illustrated without being overloaded. File name: student's name and company name.
% - If the report is confidential, send it securely to the Mechanical Engineering internship office and do not upload the confidential report to Moodle.
%
% [LONG INTERNSHIP - FINAL-YEAR PROJECT / 5TH YEAR]
% - Main content: 22 to 32 pages.
% - Company and department presentation: approximately 2 to 3 pages maximum.
% - Contact the academic supervisor as soon as they are appointed, keep them regularly informed and notify them immediately if any difficulty arises.
% - Send the PDF report to the academic supervisor and upload it to Moodle at the same time, at least 3 working days before the defence, unless the supervisor requests it earlier.
% - If the report is confidential, send it securely to the academic supervisor and do not upload the confidential report to Moodle.
%
% [CONFIDENTIALITY - ALL INTERNSHIPS]
% - Anonymise sensitive data by using generic names or XXX in the report and presentation.
% - Enable \confidentieltrue below to display the red notice on the cover page.

% TECHNICAL CORE OF THE REPORT
% Show what was done, why it was done, how it was done and the results obtained.
% A recommended structure is:
% 1. problem statement and choice of method;
% 2. work/iterations and proposed solutions;
% 3. results, critical analysis, personal contribution and future work.
% Keep only one representative example of lengthy calculations or datasets in
% the main text; place secondary details in the appendices.
% For every figure/table: number, clear caption, source where necessary,
% reference in the text, readable axes and explicit units.
% For equations: use consistent notation and conventions throughout the report.

\chapter{Approach and methodology}

% Clearly distinguish personal contribution from collective work or the previous
% state of the project. Discuss possible improvements.

% concrete evidence. Justify the choice without retelling the entire internship.
\InputRequis{justification\_competences}{Support each selected skill with evidence or a concrete action.}
\section{Reflection on engineering ethics}

% safety, the environment or society. Demonstrate integrity, responsibility and
% the trade-offs made. The existing ddrs.tex file is reused here.
