EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam includes a written and an oral interview.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The written exam will verify the effective ability to deal with the engineering study of fluid currents and structural systems. The oral examination will focus mainly on the topics covered during the lectures and will have the purpose to evaluate not only if the student has reached an adequate level of knowledge, but if he has acquired the ability to critically analyze the simple structural systems in the light of the models and of the studied schemes.
