AVIONIC Learn

This discipline is studied within the field of Transport Engineering, Green, Smart and Integrated Transport and Logistics study program and aims to familiarize students with basic knowledge in the field of air transport operations. The students must be able to solve complex air transport operations using advanced knowledge of air transport infrastructure and management.
Specific objectives:
•    Provide a general overview of the air transport operations.
•    Provide a sound comprehension of airport movement area operations.
•    Gain essential knowledge of civil aviation activities and key air transport operations.
•    Understand the operational requirements of main stakeholders: airports, airlines, authorities, ground service providers, freight forwarders, and passengers.
•    Gain practical knowledge to manage key airport operations efficiently and safely.

The discipline of Human Factors involves the application of knowledge of the way we see, hear, think and physically function to the design of tools, products and systems that support human task performance and protect human health and safety.

Particularly in aviation, Human Factors is defined as a multidisciplinary effort to generate and collect information about human capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, workstations, environments, training, staffing, and personnel management for safe, comfortable, and effective performance.

Throughout this course we will study the fundamentals that define human capabilities and limitations and apply that knowledge to two special projects:
 - The investigation of an aircraft accident, and
 - The design of a data-driven human performance measurement and improvement system.

Safety is an inherent factor in aviation without which air transport could not exist, and above all it is our greatest concern every time we board an aircraft.

It is not only one of the professional areas with the greatest development and projection for the future of the aviation industry. In addition, learning the fundamentals of safety management will also be useful for multiple activities throughout your life, both professional and personal.

We hope that this course will serve as an introduction to this interesting subject and arouse your curiosity and interest to learn more. There is a whole Master's speciality dedicated to human factors, risk management, accident investigation and safety management that will allow you to broaden your knowledge if you are interested.

Understanding the link between sustainable air transport development and economic consequences.

Identify and use modern design methods and expertise to explain and interpret the constructive solutions of management of sustainable processes in air transport and detailed design of sustainable air transport.
Identify and describe in detail a wide range of professional training methods for the sustainable development of intermodal transport activities.

Ergonomics aims to make sure that tasks, equipment, information and the environment fit each worker to ensure their safety, comfort and performance. This course provides a solid introduction to ergonomics and the theory and techniques used to optimize the design of tools, tasks and workplaces.

The Strategic Management in Aviation course explores the critical frameworks, tools, and practices that underpin effective decision-making and long-term planning in the dynamic aviation industry. This course addresses the complexities of defining and analyzing strategies using advanced methodologies such as SWOT Analysis, Porter's Five Forces, and Blue Ocean Strategy, while also incorporating modern approaches like Big Data Analytics, Agile Strategy, and Design Thinking.
Through an in-depth examination of growth strategies, non-growth strategies, globalization impacts, and the role of innovation and technology, students will develop the strategic thinking necessary to address challenges in aviation management. Emphasis is placed on sustainability, resilience, and crisis management, fostering responsible leadership and operational excellence in the face of uncertainty.
Interactive lectures, case studies, and collaborative projects ensure that theoretical concepts are seamlessly integrated with real-world applications, preparing students to navigate the complexities of aviation strategy effectively. This course is tailored to equip participants with the tools to enhance operational efficiency, adapt to industry changes, and lead sustainably in a globalized aviation context.
