《航模技术与实践》课是工程训练中心开设的面向全校各专业的公共选修课程，该课程属于理论结合实际，并以实践动手操作为主体的实践实训类课程，可供本科1-3年级的学生选修。

课程内容涵盖航模的历史与现状、分类、用途与发展前景；安全操作规范；空气动力学基础；航模制作工艺及技术；航模操控技术；调试及试飞；总结与答辩等。理论讲解与实际操作的时间比约为1：4，学生有充分的动手实践机会。

开设《航模技术与实践》课的目的在于普及航模知识，促进兴趣与教学紧密结合，让更多的本科生尽早了解与掌握飞行控制的机理，为进一步参与相关领域科学研究打基础。通过该课程的学习，学生不仅可以掌握与航模有关的空气动力学相关理论知识，掌握模拟飞行、实际飞行的技术要领，而且可以亲身体验航模的整个设计制作过程。有助于扩大学生的工程视野和工程知识面，培养学习兴趣，培养团队精神和创新实践意识，并有效培养学生的动手能力。

"Aeromodeling Technology and Practice" is a public selective course opened by Engineering Training Center to students in all major. The course focus on practice of aircrafts modeling combined with necessary in-class teaching, which is available to the students at their fresh to junior year.

The course includes such topics as the historical development and prospects of aeromodeling, the category and applications of model aircrafts, safe operating procedure, fundamental of aerodynamics, processing and technology of aeromodeling, controlling and adjusting of model aircrafts. About one fifth of the course will be in-class teaching, and students have the rest of the time to design and craft their own model, which will be tested at last and followed by a final presentation.

The course objectives are to popularize the basic knowledge of aeromodeling, help students to find their interests in this field. At the same time, it is a good opportunity for student to learn the mechanism of flight control and to lay a solid foundation for their possible further research in related fields of study. Through this course, student can learn the knowledge about aerodynamics, the technology of simulated and practical flight of aircrafts. At the same time, the most importantly, they can get familiar with the entire process of aeromodeling all on their own. This course is helpful to the engineering career of students, enrich their knowledge and stimulate their interests. Moreover, students can benefit from this course on their teamwork, practical and creative ability.
