EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of an oral test composed of three questions, each focusing on one of the topics covered during the course.

The first question will be of a general aspect, focusing on the economic, financial, and market elements associated with the shipbuilding industry. The second question will require a detailed description of a workshop within the shipyard, including an analysis of the machinery and technologies used within it. Finally, the third question will be about a specific technology used in the industry.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam aims to certify the achievement of the expected learning outcomes in terms of knowledge and understanding, verifying the students' ability to analyze in detail the design and management of a shipyard, as well as the organization of the various workshops with particular attention to the plants and technologies used. The exam will also assess the ability to identify innovative solutions in the context of the shipyard and critically evaluate their impact on production and the quality of the final results. Finally, the ability to express oneself clearly and precisely on the topics covered will be verified, demonstrating a thorough understanding and effective communication skills. Therefore, the exam will verify the students' ability to critically analyze and solve problems related to the design, management, and innovation of shipyards, demonstrating competence and mastery of the technical language of the field.
