In Spain, the students of the Master of Sciences (MSc) level in Civil Engineering have competencies in airport design, construction, conservation, and exploitation. Considering the need for improving the knowledge of these students in this area, the School of Civil Engineering of A Coruña implemented in the subject of Infrastructure of Roads and Airports (ICA) a brief workshop on airport design. This paper presents a case study in which problem-based learning techniques were applied in this airport design workshop. To promote the students' interaction and improve their social skills, the workshop activities were conducted as onsite tasks. The workshop starting point was an individual real case of airport runway design. Master classes, practical lessons, private tutoring, specific software, audio-visual material, and supporting documentation posted on the ICA Moodle site were used as teaching and learning resources. In particular, an analysis of the basic International Civil Aviation Organization standards on airport design was used by the students to solve their problem. In addition, for the design of the runway orientation, the ICA students used both the Federal Aviation Administration's WindRose computer online application and the traditional manual method. The results of both methods were critically compared. The high level of satisfaction indicated by the survey conducted at the end of the subject indicated the success of this teaching and learning methodology.

从实践中发展理论：土木工程机场设计基于问题的学习案例研究

在西班牙，土木工程理学硕士 (MSc) 级别的学生具备机场设计、建造、保护和开发方面的能力。考虑到需要提高这些学生在该领域的知识，拉科鲁尼亚土木工程学院在道路和机场基础设施 (ICA) 的主题中举办了一个关于机场设计的简短研讨会。本文介绍了一个案例研究，其中在此机场设计研讨会中应用了基于问题的学习技术。为了促进学生的互动和提高他们的社交技能，工作坊活动作为现场任务进行。研讨会的出发点是机场跑道设计的一个真实案例。大师班、实践课、私人辅导、特定软件、视听资料、ICA Moodle 网站上发布的支持文档和支持文档被用作教学资源。特别是，学生们使用对国际民航组织机场设计基本标准的分析来解决他们的问题。此外，对于跑道方向的设计，ICA 学生同时使用了美国联邦航空管理局的 WindRose 计算机在线应用程序和传统的手动方法。严格比较了两种方法的结果。主题结束时进行的调查显示的高满意度表明这种教学方法取得了成功。学生们使用对国际民航组织机场设计基本标准的分析来解决他们的问题。此外，对于跑道方向的设计，ICA 学生同时使用了美国联邦航空管理局的 WindRose 计算机在线应用程序和传统的手动方法。严格比较了两种方法的结果。主题结束时进行的调查显示的高满意度表明这种教学方法取得了成功。学生们使用对国际民航组织机场设计基本标准的分析来解决他们的问题。此外，对于跑道方向的设计，ICA 学生同时使用了美国联邦航空管理局的 WindRose 计算机在线应用程序和传统的手动方法。严格比较了两种方法的结果。主题结束时进行的调查显示的高满意度表明这种教学方法取得了成功。
