The objective of the course is for students to understand and be able to apply the fundamental concepts of programming, problem analysis, and algorithm development, and to be capable of developing medium-complexity programs using the MatLab development environment. These skills must be acquired with the aim of being able to learn new methods and theories and apply them in the field of Aerospace Engineering. More specifically, the objective is for students to master and apply the following knowledge and concepts: Structured programming Algorithm design Learning to use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop source code and to debug both the algorithm and the code Acquiring a proper programming style, developing efficient, well-organized, and well-documented programs Developing the ability to understand and use programs developed by others Selecting the programming elements that allow algorithms to be developed into source code, in order to solve problems that may arise in the field of Aerospace Engineering Applying the knowledge and skills acquired through programming practice (i.e., algorithm development) to solve problems and to adapt to technological changes that will occur in the field of Aerospace Engineering

CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CE.FB3: Basic knowledge on the use and programming of computers, operating systems, databases and computer programs with application in engineering. 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.

The learning activities in lectures and labs sessions are organized as follows: - lectures (50% of classroom learning activities): theoretical aspects, and exercises - lab sessions (50% of classroom learning activities): exercises and problems - personal work, including solving problems on the computer and in writing The student must bear in mind that his/her personal work outside the classroom (study the theoretical concepts, exercises, and problems) is a keylearning activity, and it makes up for around 50% of the work in this course
