10 Aeronautical Engineering Preparatory Programs

In this program, you’ll learn to inspect, service, and repair airplanes and helicopters of all sizes. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved courses provide a well-rounded education in general aviation mechanics. You’ll gain hands-on experience working with aircraft structures, engines, hydraulics, electrical wiring, flight instruments, and other aviation components and systems.

TCC’s Associate of Science in Civil and Mechanical Engineering Degree is a state-recognized Major Related Program (MRP) designed to provide a pathway for students who plan to transfer to a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Students planning to transfer to Environmental, Aeronautical or Industrial Engineering should also follow this pathway. Aeronautical Engineers design aircraft, satellites, spacecraft, and propulsion systems (often a subset of Mechanical Engineers).

Become one of the aircraft maintenance managers of the future. This Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering will give you the knowledge and skills you need to progress your studies to degree level. You’ll receive practical training in purpose-built workshop facilities to build the understanding needed for the internationally recognised EASA Part 66 B1.1 licence.

Engineers make the world and Hartlepool College of Further Education's School of Engineering makes engineers. Do you want to be the next aircraft engineer, aircraft maintenance technician or military aircraft technician? This programme is aimed at school leavers who wish to take their first steps on a path to a career in aeronautical engineering, and at learners who have completed the Level 2 Engineering programme and wish to progress to the next level of study within the aeronautical engineering strand.

Tailored for aspiring engineers with ambitious dreams reaching for the skies, this comprehensive course offers a pathway to mastery in the exhilarating field of aeronautical engineering. Participants will embark on an immersive journey, delving into fundamental principles and concepts essential for success in this dynamic industry. From mastering the intricacies of aircraft design, maintenance, and project management to exploring advanced topics such as aircraft flight principles, microcontroller systems, and engineering mathematics, students will acquire a diverse skill set poised to propel them towards excellence.

Aeronautical and astronautical engineers apply their understanding of basic physical phenomena to design and operate aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles. Aeronautics is the design, development, analysis, testing, and production of aircraft for military or civilian markets. Astronautics is the design, development, analysis, testing, and production of rockets, spacecraft, and global space/international systems.

Learn and operate CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tools to understand and predict aeronautical systems performances and behavior.

This course will allow you to learn, develop and practise the skills required for employment and a career in the aerospace sector.

The Aviation Maintenance Technology certificate develops students towards an Airframe & Powerplant license.

This comprehensive training prepares the graduate to be readily absorbed in the aviation industry, such as airlines, maintenance and repair organisations, aircraft vendors, and avionics repair stations or workshops.
