Aeronautical Technology
Aeronautical technologists are responsible for the development of manufacturing and repair strategies for modern aerospace vehicles. They help design, test, and build structures for new aircraft. They also are responsible for the manufacturers support of production aircraft. This includes field modification, product support, and accident investigation. The aeronautical technology program is an academically oriented plan of study that includes laboratory classes in aircraft design, maintenance, and manufacturing. Course concentrations include fundamentals of aircraft science, electrical systems, aircraft materials and production processes, aircraft propulsion systems, and aircraft construction. In addition, students take courses such as algebra and trigonometry, calculus, computer programming, and English composition.
