Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology program at Kent State University prepares students for a career in the broad field of aeronautics. The program focuses on analytical and hands-on problem solving in areas of interest to the aeronautics industry. The program boasts state-of-the-art facilities, knowledgeable and experienced faculty, a focus on practical skills, and internship opportunities. The program's educational objectives are:
- Drive positive change in the community by engaging in careers in the field of aeronautical, systems, and other engineering technologies in a manner that promotes excellence and integrity.
- Practice forward-thinking through continued education by way of graduate education, professional development, and other continued self-motivated learning.
- Successfully navigate the ever-changing trajectory of the world, practicing compassion as you strive to meet your personal career goals. The Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology successfully prepares graduates of the future to work in multi-disciplinary teams in aeronautical, systems, and other engineering technology fields in ways that positively improve efficiency, reduce waste, and increase sustainability. The program 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 have strengths in the analysis, applied design, development, implementation, and oversight of more advanced aeronautical/aerospace systems and processes. Applicants to this program should understand that this is a math-intensive program. Students may apply early to the Master of Engineering Technology degree and double count 9 credit hours of graduate courses toward both degree programs.
