2501233 Aeronautical Management | OB | 1 | 1 |
None
The main objective of the subject is to present the general scope of engineering and the fundamental aspects of the profession of engineer, as well as working on the own method of problem solving in engineering. Additionally, a presentation of the Degree in Aeronautical Management will also be carried out, framing it in the previous context and paying special attention on of the professional outputs of these studies. This last aspect will be complemented by conferences given by professionals of the aeronautical sector.
PART I: ENGINEERING AND SOCIETY
Topic 1: Introduction to engineering
Topic 2: The profession of engineer
PART II: THE PROCESS OF RESOLUTION OF PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING
Topic 3: Obstacles and tools in solving problems
Topic 4: A formal framework for problem solving in engineering
PART III: METHODS AND TOOLS IN ENGINEERING
Topic 5: Calculations in engineering
Topic 6: Brief introduction to project management
Topic 7: Design based on models
Topic 8: Communication in engineering
PART IV: THE DEGREE STUDIES IN AERONAUTICAL MANAGEMENT
Topic 9: Degree in Aeronautical Management
The general methodological approach of the subject is based on the principle of multivariate strategies, which it is intended to facilitate the active participation and the construction of the learning process by the student. In this sense, lectures will be considered in a whole group, and practical activities and follow-up work of the student, in a small group.
Specifically, the training activities included in this subject are the following:
Theory classes
Exposure and discussion of the fundamental concepts of the subject (whole group).
Problem classes
Resolution and discussion of exercises that allow to reinforce the theoretical concepts of the subject (complete group).
Sessions for introduction of tools
Basically, there will be introductory sessions to:
- Lego Mindstorms programming environment: This environment is needed for the development of the course project.
- Computer tool for project planning, through which the planning of the course project will be carried out.
These activities will be carried out mainly in a small group. The two computer applications that are needed will be provided from the subject.
Conferences
During the course (in class hours of the entire group) some conferences on professional activities of the aeronautical sector will be scheduled to be taught by professionals of the sector.
Practical work (project)
The central work of the subject consists in the development in teams of a small project, for which, you will have to write a report and make an oral presentation. The development of this project it is intended to implement the method of solving problems in engineering and thus work the competencies associated with the objectives of the subject.
For this activity, follow-up sessions will be carried out, in small group. Additionally, 4 sessions of 2 hours have been planned for the project exhibition (each student will attend only two of these sessions).
Based on the formative activities that have just been commented, the expected table of the subject is summarized in the following table.

FINAL GRADE = CE1 x 0,4 + CE2 x 0,4 + CE3 x 0,2
CE1: Grade of the exam.
CE2: Final grade of the project (development).
CE3: Final grade of the project (memory and presentation).
If any component of the evaluation (CE) has a final value less than 4, the qualification will be Suspended and the numerical note will correspond to the weighted average of the components with value less than 4.
Not submitted and With Honors:
Recovery:
In general, (for academic norms of the UAB), the student can submit to the recovery whenever it has been presented to a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total.
In particular:
Repeating students:
The evaluation method for repeating students will be the same as for the resto of students.
Disciplinary measures:
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, the irregularities committed by the student that can lead to a variation of the qualification of evaluation activity. Therefore, copying or letting copy a practice or any other evaluation activity will imply suspending it with a zero, and if it is necessary to pass it to pass the subject, the entire subject will be suspended. Qualified evaluation activities will not be recoverable in this way and by this procedure, and therefore the subject will be suspended directly without opportunity to recover it in the same academic year.
