Full Description

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 and double count 9 credit hours of graduate courses toward both degree programs. See the policy in the University Catalog for more information.

Admission Requirements

The university affirmatively strives to provide educational opportunities and access to students with varied backgrounds, those with special talents and adult students who graduated from high school three or more years ago.

First-Year Students on the Â鶹ӰԺ Campus: First-year admission policy on the Â鶹ӰԺ Campus is selective. Admission decisions are based upon cumulative grade point average, strength of high school college preparatory curriculum and grade trends. Students not admissible to the Â鶹ӰԺ Campus may be administratively referred to one of the seven regional campuses to begin their college coursework. For more information, visit the .

First-Year Students on the Regional Campuses: First-year admission to Â鶹ӰԺ State’s campuses at Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Geauga, Salem, Stark, Trumbull and Tuscarawas, as well as the Twinsburg Academic Center, is open to anyone with a high school diploma or its equivalent. For more information on admissions, contact the Regional Campuses admissions offices.

International Students: All international students must provide proof of English language proficiency (unless they meet specific exceptions) by earning a minimum 525 TOEFL score (71 on the Internet-based version), minimum 75 MELAB score, minimum 6.0 IELTS score or minimum 48 PTE Academic score, or by completing the ELS level 112 Intensive Program. For more information, visit the admissions website for international students.

Transfer Students: Students who have attended any other educational institution after graduating from high school must apply as undergraduate transfer students. For more information, visit the admissions website for transfer students.

Former Students: Former Â鶹ӰԺ State students or graduates who have not attended another college or university since Â鶹ӰԺ State may complete the reenrollment or reinstatement form on the University Registrar’s website.

Admission policies for undergraduate students may be found in the University Catalog's .

Some programs may require that students meet certain requirements before progressing through the program. For programs with progression requirements, the information is shown on the program's Coursework tab.

Transfer students must have a minimum 2.250 overall GPA in all college-level coursework for admission to the Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology major.

Effective for the fall 2025 admission term:

Admission to the Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology major is selective.

New Students: Admission into this major requires a minimum 2.700 unweighted high school GPA. Students who do not meet this requirement will be admitted to the Applied Engineering and Technology Management concentration of the . Students may change their major to Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology after satisfying the below requirements for current students.

Note: Applicants should understand that this is a math-intensive program. Students admitted to the program are expected to demonstrate prerequisite knowledge on a math placement exam (the ALEKS exam) prior to starting their first semester. Students who do not obtain the minimum score required to place into MATH 12011 are at risk of delaying graduation.

Current Students: Students may change their major to Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology if they meet the following criteria:

• Minimum 2.500 overall Â鶹ӰԺ State GPA
• Minimum C grade in both ENGR 11001 and ENGR 11002
• Minimum C grade in either MATH 11022 or MATH 12011

Transfer Students: Transfer students must have completed minimum 12 credit hours of college-level coursework with a minimum 2.500 overall GPA for admission to the Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology major. Students with less than 12 credit hours completed will be evaluated based on their high school transcript using the criteria in the above "new student" section.

International Students: All international students must provide proof of English language proficiency (unless they meet specific exceptions to waive) by earning a minimum 71 TOEFL iBT score, minimum 6.0 IELTS score, minimum 47 PTE score or minimum 100 DET score, or by completing the ELS level 112 Intensive English Program. For more information on international admission visit the admissions website for international students.
