Learning outcomes The planning of the various activities that take place within organizations (companies, services, etc.) aims to achieve objectives that satisfy the needs and aspirations previously identified. Although such planning depends on the organizational and operating model of each company or service, there has been a growing preference for models that directly relate the goals to be achieved, either with the availability of resources or with the constitution and the duration/cost of the teams necessary to carry out the various activities. The application of these models to Engineering in general, and Aeronautical Engineering in particular, can generate substantial increases in productivity and effectiveness at the level of several subsystems. GPAeES aims to develop critical reasoning in students around the subject and the skills that allow them to make the most appropriate options when faced with decision-making processes in real scenarios.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Classes are of a theoretical-practical nature, using, whenever possible, the resolution of exercises and the analysis of case studies that facilitate the understanding of the material exposed. In addition to the exercises and case studies that are presented and proposed during classes, various supporting documentation will be distributed to students.
The knowledge assessment process will comprise 1 Frequency (on June 3, 2024) or the Exam, both graded on a scale of 0-20 Values. The student will pass the curricular unit as long as they obtain a classification equal to or greater than 9.5.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
