KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Graduates:
- will have in-depth knowledge of the theoretical and scientific aspects of mathematics and other basic sciences;
- will have in-depth knowledge of the theoretical and scientific aspects of engineering, both generally and specifically related to aerospace and astronautic engineering;
- will be proficient in business organisation and culture and professional ethics.
Assessment of the achievement of these learning outcomes shall be mainly through written and oral exams, tests and oral presentations.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Graduates:
- will be able to use the acquired theoretical and scientific knowledge of mathematics and other basic sciences to interpret and describe engineering problems;
- will be able to identify, formulate and solve complex problems or problems which require an interdisciplinary approach, also using innovative methods;
- will be able to design, plan, implement and manage complex and/or innovative systems, processes and services;
- will be able to design and manage highly complex experiments;
- will be able to apply the analytical tools and knowledge of advanced sector-specific technologies also in other important engineering fields.
- will be able to physical/mathematical models to analyse aircraft features and performance, the structure of the physical environment and of the meteorological situation and apply them also using simulation techniques;
- will be able to study advanced methods for the regulation and monitoring of air traffic using information processing and transmission systems in aerospace environments.
The achievement of the aforementioned ability to apply knowledge and understanding will be accomplished through the research of case studies and applications presented by the professors, practical numerical exercises and laboratory work, individual and/or group projects related in particular to the core or supplementary learning activities included in the programme, as well as during the work placement and through the preparation of the final examination.
The tests, written and oral exams, reports, practical work imply the execution of specific tasks which aim to demonstrate the student's command of tools, methods and critical autonomy. During the work placement, students will be assessed through the presentation of a report approved by the company tutor.
JUDGEMENT SKILLS:
Graduates:
- will have synthesis skills,
- will be able to carry out research autonomously and guided by the supervising professor and to present and discuss personal essays.
Judgement skills are developed in particular through practical exercises, supervised seminars, above all during the core course units and during individual study plans in which importance is given to the alternatives demanded of the design choices.
The acquisition of judgement skills is assessed through the evaluation of the students' ability to work autonomously as well as in groups during the activities assigned in preparation of the work placement and the final examination.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
2nd cycle graduates must be able to use at least the English language fluently orally and in writing, in addition to Italian, also using the specific terminology of this discipline.
Written and oral communication skills are developed in particular during the learning activities which also require the production of reports and written documents as well as their oral presentation. The acquisition of these communication skills is also assured through the production of a final dissertation and its discussion, and during the final report on the period of work placement.
LEARNING SKILLS:
2nd cycle graduates gain direct knowledge of the possible career opportunities through the participation in activities carried out in structures inside and outside of the university, in coherence with the study programme learning outcomes, in order to develop group working skills, relational skills and external stimulation to relevant topics.
Learning skills are acquired throughout the study period. Learning skills are evaluated through continuous assessment during the learning activities which require the presentation of autonomously researched data as well as through tutoring activities relative to the implementation of projects and the evaluation of the self-learning skills developed during the activities in preparation of the final examination.
