DEDICATION The dedication is a tribute the author wishes to make to one or more people of the author s choosing. It s optional.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the acknowledgements, the author points out the help that various people have provided, including advice or any other type of contribution as the author carried out their research. As appropriate, this is the section where the candidate must thank their thesis or dissertation supervisor, grant-awarding organizations, or companies that provided bursaries or research funds. If the thesis or dissertation is in French and students wish to thank someone in particular in English, they must insert a second page and title it in English (i.e., Acknowledgments ). If the thesis or dissertation is in English and students wish to thank someone in particular in French, they must insert a second page and title it in French (i.e., Remerciements ).
RÉSUMÉ The résumé (mandatory summary) is a brief explanation in French of the work s topic, its objectives, the research questions or hypotheses put forth, the experimental methods used, and the results analysis. It also includes the key research conclusions and future applications. In general, a summary does not exceed three pages. The summary must provide an exact idea of the thesis or dissertation s content. It cannot be a simple enumeration of the manuscript s parts. The goal is to precisely and concisely present the nature and scope of the research. A summary must never include references or figures.
ABSTRACT The abstract is mandatory. It must be a faithful, high-quality English-language translation of the French-language summary, and not a literal translation.

1 INTRODUCTION In the introduction, the problem under study is introduced, along with the goals of the study. The introduction explains the research framework and specifies the field of application. It provides the necessary details about the study s context, the approach taken, and the project s evolution. Essentially, the introduction tells the reader what they need to know in order to understand the study and grasp its scope. The introduction also includes a critical review of the relevant literature (historical and bibliographic review of the topic). The literature review is of key importance. Among other things, it allows students to learn about recent advances relevant to the issues raised in their research topic, to identify the links between their research work and past studies, and to set out the key themes of their research project. If the review is too large, it is best to present it in a separate chapter.
2 CHAPTER TITLE The body of the work is the main portion of the thesis or dissertation. This is where the theoretical or mathematical development is set out, along with the methodology and experiment design, measurements, results and analysis, as well as the necessary scientific discussion. 2.1 Section title Sections allow you to split the content to facilitate reading and better structured text. 2.1.1 Sub-section title You must label each figure (schemas, sketches, photographs, diagrams, graphics and other illustrations) with a title. This title, placed under the figure, is preceded by the word Figure and a double identification number in Arabic numerals: the first number is the chapter number, while the second indicates the figure s order of appearance in the chapter (e.g.: Figure 3.4 means the fourth figure in Chapter III). The legend directly follows the title. Figure 2.1: My figure Each table must be labelled with a title. The title, located above the table, is preceded by the word Table and a double identification number in Arabic numerals. (The standards for figure
numbering also apply to table numbering.) There is no legend after a table title; appropriate explanations must be provided in the text. Once again, margins must be respected. If a table takes up more than one page, the title must be repeated (table, number, title) on the following page, with the word cont d (continued) in parentheses. However, to avoid inserting long tables into the text, we recommend placing larger tables in appendix. Tables may be presented in landscape format if needed.

It is preferable, though, to explain the author s idea in your own words, and then note the reference. In such cases, it is not a literal citation, strictly speaking. Insert short quotations between quote marks directly in the text. See Library s guide : For quotations longer than three lines, separate them from the text and present them indented and single-spaced. All the details of quotation presentation are explained in the Library s guide. Several examples are provided as well.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The conclusion helps draw attention to the thesis or dissertation s contribution to the advancement of knowledge and the development of technologies, while articulating its limits and constraints. It also serves as a space to identify areas for future research. Recommendations may also be set out here.
