Power-point documents , articles , data sheets , airport regulations , provided by the teacher in the first lessons as PDF documents on a CD.

Face-to-face classroom lessons according to the faculty calendar

The valuation is based on an oral exam typically divided into three questions. The student's answers must show the following learning outcomes: - Knowledge of the topic with correct framework with respect to the aspects most linked by system constraints. - Full understanding of the physical laws that are applicable in the particular case.

The lessons are based on an iterative process that develops in the following phases. We present the topic that will be treated by highlighting the system's links with the other topics already analysed or that will follow. The physical bases are highlighted by highlighting the difference in schematization three a purely electrotechnical analysis and power system sizing. The typical formulations of literature are presented, and when possible the presented formulations are used by carrying out simple example calculations to show their operations. At this point, students are invited to ask questions, possibly stimulating attention on aspects known for their greater difficulty of full immediate understanding. With the next topic, the system problems are presented, returning to the concept that the individual problems analysed will then have to be managed together by optimizing the choices and sizing. With this process the individual topics are analysed and at the same time a critical evaluation approach is provided that helps the full understanding of the main problems encountered in the design of an electrical system. The aeronautical area is therefore used not only as an objective of knowledge of its particularities but also as an example of the highest quality and performance requirement for an electrical system. In this teaching process, the calculation process develops in two ways. A tool to help understand the particular problems with individual applications of the formulas just analysed. Summary exercises where not only all possible formulations are applied but also above all the systemic aspect intrinsic to the sizing process is highlighted.
