| Resumo: | [EN] This paper presents the results of investigating two teaching approaches to students studying a course on Numerical Simulation in Aerospace Engineering. In one approach a group of students used Simulink only and in the second another group used Simulink and a physical flight simulator. The impact on students’ motivation and academic achievement was assessed by the use of hierarchical clustering and linear discriminant analysis. There were 42 undergraduate students split into two groups. The conclusion is that by using a flight simulator students enjoy to a larger extent the learning process and thus are more motivated and eventually obtain better marks. |
