The module on wind generators has the following training objectives:
The objective of the course is to enable the student to acquire: i) the ability to re-elaborate what has been studied and to apply the acquired knowledge in practice: this also, and above all, in fields other than those in which the knowledge learned is traditionally used ( Knowledge, Understanding, Applied Knowledge); ii) the notions necessary to be able to independently deepen what has been learned, both independently and with originality, and through comparison with the teachers and with the other students, in order to use the basic knowledge as a starting "platform" that allows him to reach to further results characterized by an increasingly greater maturity and an increasingly broad autonomy of judgment (Autonomy of Judgment and Ability to Learn); iii) the ability to convey to one's interlocutors, in a clear and complete way, the knowledge acquired at the end of the training course developed within the course (Communication).
Mathematical analysis, Physics, Basic concepts of Structural Mechanics
· Disciplinary classrooms
· Problem solving Mathematical analysis, Physics, Basic concept of structural mechanics
· Project Based Learning
· The scientific method for STEM
The exam consists of an oral examination.
During the oral discussion, the critical skills and methodological rigor achieved by the student will be evaluated, as well as the contributions of originality, with reference to the topics covered by the course.
The outcome of the exam will result from the oral discussion, with the aim of understanding the student's, their degree of reworking the concepts addressed during the course and applying the knowledge acquired in practice, in cases of interest.
The oral exam aims to verify the level of knowledge and understanding of the course contents and to evaluate the autonomy of judgment, learning ability and communication ability.
The final grade will be awarded according to the following evaluation criteria:
30 cum laude: complete, in-depth and critical knowledge of the topics, excellent language skills, original interpretative ability, full ability to independently apply knowledge to solve the proposed problems, with reference to case studies already covered during the course or new;
28 - 30: complete and in-depth knowledge of the topics, excellent language properties, complete and effective interpretative skills, able to independently apply the knowledge to solve the proposed problems, with reference to case studies already covered during the course or new;
24 - 27: knowledge of the topics with a good degree of command, good language skills, correct and safe interpretative skills, good ability to correctly apply most of the knowledge to solve the proposed problems, with reference to the case studies already treated during the course or on the general analysis of new case studies;
20 - 23: adequate knowledge of the topics but limited mastery of the same, satisfactory language properties, correct interpretative ability, more than sufficient ability to independently apply the knowledge to solve the proposed problems, with reference to the case studies already covered during the course;
18 - 19: basic knowledge of the main topics, basic knowledge of technical language, sufficient interpretative ability, sufficient ability to apply the basic knowledge acquired; Insufficient: does not have an acceptable knowledge of the topics covered during the course
