Stages for the students of the School of Aerospace Engineering

The curriculum for students enrolled since academic year 2018/19 includes 6 credits for stages, to be collected during the second year. These 6 credits are approximately equal to 150 hours of activities. Students are responsible to fulfil such a mandatory activity, and the easiest way is to choose among the wide offer proposed by the School and listed in this catalogue.

Students are suggested to consider stages whether they are close to end their regular courses or – always during the second year – they do have spare time available from mandatory or elective courses. Students are requested to inform by mail the instructor responsible for stage activities (currently prof. G.Palmerini, giovanni.palmerini@uniroma1.it) about their preferences (no more than 4) and their current advances in curriculum (passed and missing exams, with a scan or pdf of their INFOSTUD page). Students who already agreed a stage activity (either included or not in the following list) with a professor of the School should follow the same process, clearly indicating in the e-mail that they already got their activity assigned (please detail the activity and relevant tutor, no preferences in this case) [...]
