Teaching activities are related to the issues of design, static and strength analyzes, manufacturing, assembly, maintenance and revalorization, anti-corrosion protection and non-destructive testing methods for metal and composite structures. We also conduct classes in technical drawing, engineering graphics and CAD systems.
