Learning objectives Learning objectives The general learning objective is to train technicians with a high cultural and professional preparation in the main engineering disciplines of the aeronautical sector, in a framework aiming at also developing the capacity for interdisciplinary integration and the ability to deal with new and complex problems in a scientifically rigorous way. The course is structured to provide all students with a common knowledge and understanding of some topics considered as fundamental, such as aerodynamics, aircraft performance and dynamics, aerospace structures, structural dynamics and aeroelasticity. The above elements are considered essential in order to satisfy the specific learning and professionalization/specialization objectives that the student will give himself/herself with the choice of the elective courses, favoring disciplinary or multidisciplinary aspects, with an optimal balance of his/her interests/attitudes with the needs of skills profiles required by the market.

Study tracks Study tracks • A study track is a didactic proposal suggested to students that is articulated, starting from the tables of the Teaching Groups, in an indication of courses considered to be functional to the formation of a professional and cultural figure with a certain characterization/specialization. • Disciplinary track (thematic). The disciplinary track has as its primary objective the preparation of specialists in a fundamental technology of the aeronautical sector. It therefore represents a proposal characterized by the offer of key knowledge and skills, consolidated and advanced, of the specific technical context and the development of robust and in-depth operational skills related to the methodologies and tools of the thematic area. • Multidisciplinary (transversal) track. The multidisciplinary study track is intended as a path in which a balance/integration between specialization and transversal skills is achieved both within the different aeronautical disciplines and within contexts of interaction and integration with disciplines belonging to other engineering sectors that have acquired increasing importance in the aerospace sector. Open Days 2020 Lauree Magistrali slide 20
Thesis labs
Thesis labs
• Training centers of competence involving several
professors on specific research topics/methods
consistent with one or more study tracks.
• They are visible to students (dedicated section of the
course website), who can then customize their
preparation at a specialist level according to the
proposals of the thesis laboratories.
• They organize and manage the final thesis, setting
the work as a real project, with a formally defined
time frame and a clear definition of the organization
of the work.
• They allow the cooperation of several professors for the proposal of final activities of a project type,
carried out by relatively large groups of students (possibly from different training profiles), so as to
encourage the acquisition of teamwork skills and interdisciplinary exchange.
Open Days 2020 Lauree Magistrali slide 21Additional activities Additional courses You can always add additional courses outside the basic course plan (i.e. outside the basic 120 credits) You may choose classes also from PhD Schools They cannot be exploited to reach the required 120 credits Internship in a company You are advised to add an internship (stage) to your course plan It cannot be exploited to reach the required 120 credits www.careerservice.polimi.it facilitates contacts with companies and seeks job opportunities Participate to student competitions • AHS Student Competition • AIAA for Aeronautical students • AIAA for Space students • Airbus Fly your Ideas Open Days 2020 Lauree Magistrali slide 22
