Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students acquire the knowledge necessary for evaluation of technological methods, design from technology point of view and for technology planning of heat treatment, forming, composite manufacture and joining.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the structure, phase transformations and properties of metal structural materials. Basic technological principles and methods of materials processing – heat treatment, forming.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Satisfying the course-unit credit conditions it is necessary to attend compulsory seminars and to pass three written tests. The final evaluation consists of the tests results (30%) and oral examination (70%).
Aims
The objective of the course Aircraft Manufacture I is to inform of aircraft manufacture specific attributes and methods and procedures, which are necessary for design specialists.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is compulsory. In the case of legitimate absence, students are required to work out an alternative individual assignment. Continuous checking is done during seminars.
