The Aerospace Engineering degree programme provides for 3 credits to be awarded for ‘Further Knowledge’ in the third year. To this end, each year the degree programme evaluates a set of training initiatives suitable for the accreditation of the 3 credits. Specifically:
- Mini-courses typically worth 3 credits of an applied nature (laboratory, programming, etc.) that may be provided by other degree programmes (for recognition, a certificate of attendance and passing grade from the mini-course lecturer is required)
- Initiatives organised by university student associations (covering all or part of the 3 credits) involving active participation in seminars or team working initiatives (certificate of attendance and number of hours to be requested from the initiative promoter).
- Seminar initiatives on topics such as Ethics and Engineering - Professional Ethics (organised by the Order of Engineers), Workplace Safety, Culture of Inclusion and Soft Skills (organised by Sinapsi and selected companies), technical topics (organised by individual lecturers in collaboration with companies or national and international bodies). Additional seminars offered by the School of Engineering and Basic Sciences (certificate of attendance and number of hours to be requested from the seminar organiser)
- Web-Learning initiatives (e.g. MOOC courses) available on Federica Web Learning (https://www.federica.eu/), such as:
- PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON
- INTERNATIONAL CYBERSPACE LAW
- PARALLEL COMPUTING AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
- DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, ECOSYSTEMS AND ACTORS
- FUTURE ROBOTS. TOWARDS A ROBOTIC SCIENCE OF HUMAN BEINGS
- INDUSTRY 4.0
- THE BASICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
- AUTONOMOUS AEROSPACE SYSTEMS
- EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
- SOFT SKILLS
- THE WEB AND ONLINE INFORMATION SEARCH
- EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION AND COMMUNICATION
Accreditation procedure
For accreditation, it is necessary to participate in the proposed initiatives and collect certifications of participation until the completion of the total 3 Credits (3 Credits correspond to approximately 24 hours of classroom teaching and, considering the individual reworking by the student, to approximately 75 hours of total commitment). Any seminars organised by the degree programme can be attended from the first year of the course and will be recognised upon request by the student starting from the third-year exam window.
Starting from the first exam window of the third year, students MUST SEND ALL CERTIFICATES OBTAINED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE COURSE EMAIL ADDRESS (Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.), indicating in the email ‘Request for accreditation of further knowledge credits for the Degree Course in Aerospace Engineering’ and specifying in the text their name, surname, student matricula and list of courses and/or seminars for which recognition is requested. THE REQUEST MUST BE SENT ONLY AFTER THE 3 CREDITS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. PARTIAL RECOGNITION IS NOT POSSIBLE.
After the time necessary to complete the procedure (NOT LESS THAN TWO WEEKS), the 3 Credits will be visible in your SEGREPASS account.
