The team of students is expected to go through the following stages of work: • Problem identification • Literature review • Research methodology • Numerical study, results analysis, and discussion • Project execution • Report writing • Project presentation

目标

To provide students an opportunity to utilise and integrate their knowledge of air transport engineering in a team effort to solve real life problems related to the aviation industry.

先修要求

/ Co- requisite/ Exclusion Pre-requisite: 1. The student should have completed most of the subjects required in previous years of the programme before taking this subject. The enrollment of this subject is subjected to the approval of the Project Coordinator and the project supervisor. Students should consult the project supervisor for the arrangement. 2. Students should complete at least 70% of their year three subjects. Remark: If you have any special needs, please contact Prorgramme leader and Project coordinators for discussion.

Teaching Pattern

Methodology The main component of the project is guided studies. Each team of students is allocated a project title, objectives, description, and a project supervisor and an industrial supervisor (if applicable). The project supervisor would guide the team through the various stages of the project. For industrial-related projects, one academic and one industrial supervisor will be assigned to each student team. Student team working on industrial-related projects may be eligible for fulfilling WIE requirement. To be eligible, student shall demonstrate frequent contact and close involvement with the industrial supervisor and/or industrial organisation, and submit the necessary WIE required documentations. -- 2 of 4 -- Teaching/Learning Methodology Intended subject learning outcomes to be covered a b c d e 1.
