Aeronautical Engineering Technology
 Aeronautical
engineering technologists install, construct, maintain,
and test systems used to test, launch, or track aircraft and space
vehicles. They may calibrate test equipment and determine causes of
equipment malfunctions. Using computer and communications systems,
aerospace engineering and operations technologists often record and
interpret test data.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in aeronautical engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Aeronautical engineering technology students take courses such as
material science and composites, computational methods in engineering,
and engineering graphics. The following is a current list of all universities offering accredited degree programs in
aeronautical engineering
technology.
Professional Organizations
 American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics
Aerospace and Electronics
Systems Society of the IEEE
Aerospace
Industries Association
American Astronautical Society
Society of Flight Test Engineers
