2. Pre-Requisites
The student must previously know basic concepts of Statistics, Applied Mechanics, Machine Theory, Business Management, Materials Science, Resistance of materials.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
One of the pillars of the formation of the aeronautical engineer must be the knowledge of the product design specifications, the production technologies and their fundamentals, the automated manufacturing systems, and the quality control of the process and the product. This subject provides the student with this knowledge that is necessary for the performance of the profession of aeronautical engineer.
The production of goods and services is the ultimate goal of any industry. The aerospace equipment and materials engineer must have a clear vision of both its manufacture and the effect that such equipment and materials can have on aerospace production.
"Aerospace Manufacturing and Maintenance", in addition to the basic skills that it provides to students, is focused on providing the basis for understanding the manufacturing processes themselves.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 70.00% | 70.00% | Test with theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. The minimum grade for this part to be compensable will be 4 points (out of 10). |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | Experimental practices. Attendance to practices is considered mandatory for all students who follow the subject in continuous assessment. The use of the development of the experimental practices, as well as the questions and observations during the practices, will be incorporated into the note of the practice report. The minimum grade for this part to be compensable will be 4 points (out of 10). |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 10.00% | 10.00% | Practical content test in which problems or cases related to the subject will be raised. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The final grade in continuous assessment will be:
70% final test + 40% final test + 20% Experimental Practices + 10% Resolution of problems or cases.
To pass the subject it is necessary to get a 5 out of 10 in the final grade, after taking the average of all the activities.
If in an evaluable test the minimum mark to compensate has not been reached, the final mark will not be higher than 4 points (out of 10). -
Non-continuous evaluation:100% of the mark will correspond to a final exam, which includes all the contents seen during the course, including problem solving or cases and practices, maintaining the percentages of each part indicated in the evaluation system.
To pass the subject it is necessary to get a grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 after performing the weighted average of the parts and meeting the minimum grade criteria indicated in the ordinary call.
In the event that the grade of the final test or of the laboratory practices is < 4, the final grade of the subject may not be higher than 4.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The same as in the ordinary evaluation.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same as the ordinary call for non-continuous evaluation.

| General comments about the planning: | In the implementation phase of the subject, in order to optimize the information received by the student, a particularly careful coordination work will be carried out with the rest of the subjects. This implies possible modifications in the order and depth with which the topics are taught. In general, approximately 50% will be dedicated to Manufacturing and 50% to Maintenance. |
