ENGR 4120
Human-Centered Aerospace Engineering Fundamentals · 1 instructor on record · 1 section
That is the class itself, averaged across everyone who taught it. Who taught it, and how each of them scored, is the board below — that is what a student picking a section is actually choosing between.
Boston College's own “intellectually challenging” question for this class only — students answer it positively about courses that stretched them, so it measures intellectual challenge and NOT grading, workload or quality. Almost every BC class scores high on it, which is why it is shown as a rank rather than a score.
Boston College reports workload for this class only as one of five bands, not as a number of hours, and it does not publish what the bands mean — so this site will not translate it into hours. Higher means more work, which is not the same as worse.
This course explores the fundamental principles of aerospace engineering through a human-centered lens, emphasizing the interconnectedness between the development of aerospace tools and techniques and their societal impact. We will gain a foundational understanding of key aerospace concepts, including aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, and control, while simultaneously examining their implications on society and the environment. We will learn through a combination of lectures, discussions, problem sets, case studies, hands-on activities, and a collaborative project on surveillance and drones.

There is no ranking to read here: Avneet Hira is the only instructor with evaluation records for ENGR 4120, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 1 record, which is thin — read it as provisional.

The line
All 13 items · means across 1 recordBar length is the rank against every comparable record we hold, not the raw score: BC's questions all have a median around 4.5, so a raw-scale bar would be nearly full on every row and would tell you nothing. Every bar is one ink colour — nothing here is graded green or red. The hatched bars are not ratings at all: a higher number on either describes a different course, not a better one.

How to read this boardInstructors are ranked on their record in this class only, never on their average across everything they teach. Scores are out of 100 — Boston College's 1–5 agreement scale, ×20, the way these numbers were printed for years. Workload is BC's own five-band figure, not a number of hours, and is shown as a rank. A dash means the question was not reported, and is never a zero.
