Able to independently plan the learning process, choose the improvement direction in aeronautics or other field;
Able to convey summarized personal/global scientific and engineering experience and knowledge in aeronautical engineering to the specialists and general public;
Able to communicate and cooperate on an international level with (non-)aeronautical specialists and business representatives and assume personal and team responsibility for the quality of engineering activities;
Able to identify the aspects of project management and business, assesses the risks of technological solutions and their economic consequences.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
