Overview

Interested in building the systems that keep aircraft, and entire industries, moving? Focusing on systems thinking, hands-on problem solving and industry-relevant skills, the Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology degree from Kent State University equips students to meet contemporary challenges in both aeronautics and broader technical areas.

The Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology degree from Kent State University 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.

Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will be able to:

Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.

Design systems, components or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.

Apply written, oral and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments, and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.

Conduct standard tests, measurements and experiments and analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.

Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
