Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In TP classes, the subject is exposed by slides presentations and demonstrative examples, then consolidated
through application exercises. One of the application exercises is an individual assessment work that consists of
predicting the aerodynamic characteristics: lift curve, drag pole and stability coefficients of an airplane. In practical
laboratory classes an experimental work is carried out to characterize the aerodynamics of an alar profile in a wind
tunnel.
The periodic assessment note (NAP) is based on a written frequency test (NF), an individual assignment (NTI) and a
laboratory assignment (NL).
