The Technology concentration is designed for students seeking preparation for advanced study at the graduate level. Students will receive a strong background in mathematics, the sciences, engineering technology, and the more technical courses in aerospace. In addition to aerospace specific coursework, the concentration’s curriculum requires the completion of minors in Mathematics and Engineering Technology, two semesters of computer programming and calculus-based physics, and the completion of a senior research project. Aerospace Technology students have access to an array of research resources to include wind tunnels, water tunnels, small unmanned aircraft, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software operating on workstation computers, and undergraduate grant funding provided by MTSU’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URECA) program. Motivated Aerospace Technology students with high academic abilities are encouraged to choose a double major in either Professional Mathematics or Professional Physics.
NOTE: All major courses, program accreditation, and/or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) related coursework (physics, mathematics, and selected engineering technology courses) must be completed with a grade of C or better in order to graduate.

Degree Requirements
| True Blue Core (TBC) | 41 hours | | Major Requirements | 28 hours | | Aerospace Core | 13 hours | | Technology Concentration | 15 hours | | Supporting Courses | 23 hours* | | Mathematics Minor | 15 hours* | | Engineering Technology Minor | 21 hours | | TOTAL | 120-128 hours | *This program requires courses that can also fulfill requirements of the True Blue Core curriculum. If courses for this program are also used to fulfill True Blue Core requirements, the program of study may be completed in 120 hours. True Blue Core (41 hours)
True Blue Core (TBC) requirements (shown in curricular listings below) include courses in the Foundational Skills areas of Written Communication (WC), Information Literacy (Info Lit), Non-Written Communication (NWC), and Quantitative Literacy (Quant Lit). Knowledge Domains include Human Society and Social Relationships (HSSR), Scientific Literacy (Sci Lit), Creativity and Cultural Expression (CCE), and History and Civic Learning (HCL), which include Discovery and Explorations categories. Students must choose at least one course from each Discovery category. The following courses required by the major meet True Blue Core requirements: Major Requirements (28 hours)
Aerospace Core (13 hours)
Technology Concentration (15 hours)
Supporting Courses (23 hours)
Mathematics Minor (15 hours)
(NOTE: MATH 1910 counts for the Quantitative Literacy True Blue Core requirement and for one hour in this minor.) Curriculum: Aerospace, Technology Concentration
