Bachelor of Science, Major in Business Administration

at Southern New Hampshire University USA

The Aeronautical Engineering program prepares students for professional careers in civilian and military aviation, including aircraft piloting and the design, development and testing of aircraft and aircraft systems. The program includes a multi-semester design sequence within which students work in teams applying theories learned in the classroom to solve complex problems and transform concepts into functioning designs that they will build and operate. In addition to the design sequence, CETA offers students the opportunity to plan and conduct their own flight tests. The College maintains an instrumented light aircraft flown by professional pilots to provide students with in-flight experience; this allows students to participate as flight test engineers, using a specially designed data collection system to record key flight parameters and perform post-flight data analysis.  CETA offers specific concentration areas in Robotics, Telecommunications, and Unmanned Aerial Systems that complement core engineering training and enhance student’s post-graduation placement opportunities. Students also have the opportunity to be involved in engineering clubs and organizations, such as student chapters of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and Sigma Gamma Tau, the national aerospace engineering honor society.   The BS.AEG program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
