Career Paths

Graduates can pursue a variety of career pathways within an aerospace industry sector of their interest. These include, but are not limited to:

Air Carriers

Air carriers are commercial (for hire) air operations that include scheduled passenger service and air cargo. These include major and regional airlines and air cargo services. These services are governed under FAR Part 121 regulations.

UAM & EVTOL

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (EVTOL) aircraft will usher a new era of personal and air taxi transportation. Electric and hybrid propulsion systems, piloted, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous vehicles will all help reduce urban road congestion.

Business Aviation

Business aviation is the use of any general aviation aircraft for a business purpose. The Federal Aviation Administration defines general aviation as all flights that are not conducted by the military or the scheduled airlines.

Defense

The defense sector of aerospace involves the research, design, manufacture, sales, and support systems for air, space, and missile vehicle platforms that serve the purpose of maintaining national security and defense.

UAS

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), a new and developing sector of the aerospace industry, involves air vehicles operated without human intervention. Broad applications include education, research, agriculture, commercial, public service, and defense.

Space

The space sector involves all activities associated with the manufacture, launch, operations, and business of payload lift to various earth orbits or beyond. These include research, civil, and defense vehicles or satellites.
