Quel avion pour quelle mission? (FUN)

Quel avion pour quelle mission? (FUN)

Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la compagnie aérienne avait affrété tel type d’avion plutôt que tel autre ?

En montant dans un avion, vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la compagnie aérienne avait affrété tel type d’avion plutôt que tel autre ? Sachant qu’il existe aujourd’hui environ une centaine de types d’avions de transport, la question est en effet plus que légitime : un type d’avion donné, pour quel type de mission est-il fait ? Et a contrario, quel avion choisir pour effectuer un type de mission donné ?
Ce sont à ces questions que se propose en premier lieu de répondre le MOOC : Quel avion pour quelle Mission ?
Mais au-delà de ce questionnement initial, ce cours se propose de vous aider à appréhender le secteur du transport aérien dans toute sa richesse et sa complexité. Nous verrons ainsi que, s’il en est la face la plus visible, l’avion en tant que tel n’est qu’un élément, certes central, mais reste un élément seulement d’un vaste écosystème industriel et économique constitué de nombreux acteurs : avionneurs, aéroports et compagnies aériennes pour les plus visibles, mais également services de navigation aérienne, ou encore autorités de régulation…

Sistemas Digitales: De las puertas lógicas al procesador (Coursera)

En este curso aprenderemos los fundamentos del diseño de los circuitos digitales actuales, siguiendo una orientación eminentemente práctica. A diferencia de otros cursos más "clásicos" de Circuitos Digitales, nuestro interés se centrará más en el Sistema que en la Electrónica que lo sustenta. Este enfoque nos permitirá sentar las bases del diseño de Sistemas Digitales complejos.

MOOC-Avion : Comment vole un avion ? (FUN) FUN

MOOC-Avion : Comment vole un avion ? (FUN)

Cela fait à peine plus d’un siècle que les avions volent. Et, de fait, le vol défie souvent l’intuition de l’animal terrestre que nous sommes. Comment vole un avion et comment éviter qu’il échappe au contrôle du pilote ? Jusqu’où peut-il s’élever dans le ciel ? Autant de questions auxquelles ce MOOC s’efforcera de répondre avec passion, simplicité et rigueur scientifique, en s’appuyant sur des explications visuelles, des mises en situation réalistes, des simulations et en se limitant au formalisme mathématique accessible à un élève de terminale scientifique.

Materials Science: 10 Things Every Engineer Should Know (Coursera) Coursera

Materials Science: 10 Things Every Engineer Should Know (Coursera)

We explore “10 things” that range from the menu of materials available to engineers in their profession to the many mechanical and electrical properties of materials important to their use in various engineering fields. We also discuss the principles behind the manufacturing of those materials. By the end of the course, you will be able to: recognize the important aspects of the materials used in modern engineering applications; explain the underlying principle of materials science: “structure leads to properties,”; identify the role of thermally activated processes in many of these important “things” – as illustrated by the Arrhenius relationship; relate each of these topics to issues that have arisen (or potentially could arise) in your life and work.
