AEROSPACE STRUCTURES 2

The written exam tests both the capability to solve two structural problems and to answer three theoretical questions. The two exercises assess the student's capabilities to solve structural problems involving thin walled beams. The theory questions assess her/his understanding of the theoretical foundations. An oral exam may follow the written exam if the student wants to improve her/his mark.
Exercises and theory questions are assessed separately. Students have to obtain at least 18/30 in both parts of the written exam to pass the exam. The theory question mark, weight 1/3, is added to the exercise mark, weight 2/3, to form the written exam mark.
• If the written exam mark is between 18 and 27 it will usually be the final exam mark
• If the written exam mark is above 27 the student is invited to sustain an oral exam to confirm (increase or decrease) the mark. If the student sustains the oral exam that will determine the final exam mark, otherwise the final exam mark will be 27.
• In the case of written exam mark below 18, or of failure at the oral exam, the student will have to take again the written exam.
