Mechanical and electronic design, an essential step

The aim of electronic and mechanical design is to validate technological choices and design the hardware aspects.
It generally starts from a blank page, a design or a proof of concept (or POC proof of concept). Whatever the initial format, you will need to draw up your list of specifications, enabling you to understand the use of the product, its market and the technological choices made.
This list can be drawn up with your industrial partner or by yourself (but challenged by the industrial partner).
It’s the starting point for your development.
