Teaching Pattern

Methodology Teaching is conducted through class lectures, case studies and project. Both the basic knowledge and theoretical models are going to be introduced. The understanding of how to address problems by using scientific tools is emphasised. Normally, examples of problem-solving techniques are taught in class and related scenarios are provided to students to enhance their application abilities. Guest speakers in the aviation industry will be invited to deliver talks and students are required to produce short reports for talks to encourage their involvement.
