Learning Outcomes
CB2: Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CB5: Students will have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. CG1: Capacity for design, development and management in the field of aerospace engineering. CG2: Planning, drafting, direction and management of projects, calculation and manufacturing in the field of aerospace engineering. CG4: Verification and certification in the field of aerospace engineering. CG5: Ability to carry out projection activities, technical management, expert appraisal, drafting of reports, opinions, and technical advice in tasks related to Aeronautical Technical Engineering, the exercise of genuinely aerospace technical functions and positions. CG9: Ability to analyse and solve aerospace problems in new or unknown environments, within broad and complex contexts, integrated in multidisciplinary and international work teams. CE.CRA6: Understand manufacturing processes. CE.CRA13: Applied knowledge of: the science and technology of materials; mechanics and thermodynamics; fluid mechanics; aerodynamics and flight mechanics; navigation and air traffic systems; aerospace technology; theory of structures; air transport; economics and production; projects; environmental impact. RA1: Have basic knowledge and understanding of mathematics, basic sciences, and engineering within the aerospace field, including: behaviour of structures; thermodynamic cycles and fluid mechanics; the air navigation system, air traffic, and coordination with other means of transport; aerodynamic forces; flight dynamics; materials for aerospace use; manufacturing processes; airport infrastructures and buildings. In addition to a specific knowledge and understanding of the specific aircraft and aero-engine technologies in each of the subjects included in this degree. RA2: Be able to identify aerospace engineering problems, recognise specifications, collect and interpret data and information, establish different resolution methods and select the most appropriate among the available alternatives. RA3: Be able to carry out designs in the field of aerospace vehicles, propulsion systems, navigation and air traffic control, airport infrastructures, or equipment and materials for aerospace use, which comply with the required specifications, collaborating with other engineers and graduates. RA5: Be able to apply their knowledge and understanding to solve problems and design devices or processes in the field of aerospace engineering in accordance with criteria of cost, quality, safety, efficiency and respect for the environment. RA6: Have the necessary skills for the practice of engineering in today's society.
