Aeronautical Technology
(B.S) Plan of Study
Credit Hours Required for Bachelor's Degree: 128
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 manufacturerÕs 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.

The Associate of Science degree can be awarded
after successful completion of the first two years of the
curriculum. During the third and fourth years students select
one of a number of specialty options, including electronics,
maintenance management, and manufacturing. In addition,
after completing the required written and practical examinations,
the FAA Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic Certificate may
be awarded.
