Projeto em Engenharia Aeroespacial

Objectives

The integrated project may fall within one of three modalities: 1. Scientific project and 2. Company project. Learning objectives will depend on the specific project, but in general students should: - apply the knowledge acquired during their degree to undertake a project of a scientific, technological or management nature. - extend their knowledge to areas not covered in their degree. - search, obtain, compile and summarize information (scientific, technical, legislation, interviews, polls) relevant to the project - plan and execute experiments, analyse and interpret data, develop mathematical models, perform computer simulations - develop Critical and Innovative Thinking, Intrapersonnal and Interpersonal Skills. - write and orally present and discuss a technical report.

Syllabus

The project is initialy defined by the supervisors or under the supervisors guidance and can take place at IST or outside IST (universities, research centers or companies). The following modalities are possible: 1. Scientific project: an in-depth and academically rigorous analysis of a scientific, technological or management challenge. May include experimental and/or computacional work. 2. Company project: individual project focused on a specific challenge posed by a host company that requires a solution or analysis targeted for short term implementation.

Prerequisites

It is recommended that the student has completed a minimum of 60 ECTS

Cross Competence Component

During the development and evaluation of the project students have the opportunity to develop different sets of Soft Skills. While the specific skills developed will depend on the specific project, the students in general will have opportunity to develop skills related to i) Critical and Innovative Thinking (Creativity, Problem Solving Strategies), ii) Intrapersonnal Skills (auto-discipline, enthusiasm, preserverence, self motivation) and iii) Interpersonal Skills (communication, organization, decision, initiative, oral presentation, writing). The percentage of evaluation associated with these skills should be around 30%.

Laboratorial Component

Depends on the project topic.

Programming And Computing Component

Depends on the project topic.

Ethical Principles

All members of a group are responsible for the group’s work In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used. In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
