The Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology prepares graduates to enter careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation, technical sales and maintenance of aeronautical/aerospace systems. Students gain technical expertise in engineering materials, statics, strength of materials, applied aerodynamics, applied propulsion and electronics. Graduates will have strengths in the analysis, applied design, development, implementation and oversight of more advanced aeronautical/aerospace systems and processes. The objective of the Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology program is to prepare students for entry-level professional careers in aviation systems engineering and technology fields. The program education objectives are: Students shall demonstrate a thorough understanding of fundamental aeronautical concepts and practices Students shall understand attributes of a modern aviation professional Students shall apply engineering principles and practices to real-world design problems Program Learning Outcomes An ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to broadly-defined engineering technology activities An ability to select and apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments; and to apply experimental results to improve processes An ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team An ability to identify, analyze, and solve broadly-defined engineering technology problems An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature An understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development An understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity A knowledge of the impact of engineering technology solutions in a societal and global context A commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement
