The Department of Applied Engineering and Technology offers Bachelor of Science degree programs in: Aviation, Construction Management, and Engineering Technology Management.
Department Goals
The Department of Applied Engineering and Technology seeks to provide an educational experience relevant to current and future societal needs to meet global economic and industrial trends. Programs in Applied Engineering and Technology prepare professionals for careers in Aviation, Construction and Engineering Technology Management through the Bachelor of Science degree programs; prepare technicians for careers in Applied Engineering and Computer Electronics Technology through concentrations in the Associate of Applied Science in Technology degree program; and to provide programs of quality instruction and professional services to the University and to the community.
Aviation
The EKU aviation program offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation with four concentrations: Aerospace Management, Aerospace Technology, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and Professional Flight. These concentrations combine courses in business management, communication, math, computer science and general education. The Aerospace Management concentration concentration prepares students for exciting professional careers in all aspects of the aerospace industry from a management perspective whereas the Professional Flight concentration concentration prepares students for careers as pilots.
The Professional Flight concentration Program is an FAA Part 141 approved Flight School and the only university program in Kentucky to offer the 1000-hour Restricted ATP certificate. This program provides future pilots with the flight time needed to join the rewarding world of professional aviation.
Starting with the fall 2022 semester, the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) concentration will prepare students for careers in the rapidly expanding area of UAS, including detailed knowledge of UAS-specific operations, safety, technology, regulations and industry uses. The demand for certification in this area is high as there were more than 488,000 commercial UAS registered in the United States by the end of 2021. Industries that utilize drone technology include agriculture, construction, law enforcement and more.
The Aerospace Technology (AT) degree is a degree-completion concentration. By adding upper division aerospace management and operations studies, the Bachelor’s degree AT concentration is specifically designed to complete a two-year community college degree with a heavy technical aviation course load. Examples of aviation technical degrees include Airframes & Power Plants (A&P), a two-year helicopter and/or airplane proflight degree, any two-year career technical (CTE) degree partnered with a local flight school, any two-year air traffic control program, and/or any two-year aerospace management program, and/or two-year Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) programs.
Additionally, non-degreed airline pilots with the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate may complete their bachelor’s degree with this concentration.
