Bachelor of Science, Engineering in Secondary Education (Chemistry)

at Kaplan Group - Arizona State University - Polytechnic Campus USA

The air transportation management concentration of the BS program in aeronautical management technology provides students with a strong foundation of aviation concepts, including airline administration, airport planning, aviation law, policy and human factors as well as technical knowledge focusing on power plants, structures and aerodynamics. Students progress into courses on the business and management and operational aspects of aviation such as airline administration and airport planning. All students finish the program by participating in an internship within industry and completion of a capstone project.

This program prepares students for leadership positions within airlines, airports, government, consulting and entrepreneurial enterprises.

The Aviation Accreditation Board International accredits this program.

Students in the professional flight concentration of the BS program in aeronautical management technology learn to fly in an academic environment that prepares graduates for careers as professional pilots.

Flight training is offered by an ASU-approved flight provider in late-model aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art avionics. Flight instruction takes place at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, adjacent to the Polytechnic campus.

Students may take advantage of pathway agreements for guaranteed interviews with regional air carriers.

This program is for students who are seriously interested in becoming professional airline pilots. Graduates are prepared to assume responsibilities in a wide variety of technically related areas within professional aviation flight operations.

The Aviation Accreditation Board International accredits this program and the Federal Aviation Administration certifies flight and ground instruction.

The MSTech program with a concentration in management of technology is open to individuals with a technical undergraduate degree who wish to develop their leadership and management skills to complement their technical expertise. The curriculum is tailored to the needs of the student, ensuring each student obtains basic leadership and management skills.

The unmanned aerial systems concentration of the BS program in aeronautical management technology prepares students for careers in the rapidly growing area of unmanned aerial systems, including operations, remote sensing, data collection and analysis.

The concentration incorporates all aviation management technology core courses and unmanned aerial systems concentration courses. This provides an overview of unmanned aerial systems operations followed by detailed knowledge of unmanned aerial systems-specific systems and technology (ground control stations; data links; flight planning and operations; search, detect and avoid technologies; and payloads) and unmanned aerial systems sensor operations. A critical aspect of this academic area of study is the data capture and transfer of the sensor information collected from the unmanned aerial vehicle.

This innovative concentration brings together the most up-to-date and relevant aspects facing multiple industries today by addressing flight system planning and operations and the employment of the systems in the congested National Airspace System.

The cross-media nature of the graphics industry requires tomorrow's graduates to understand the full spectrum of visual design and production as well as current business practices.

The graphic information technology program prepares students to become visual design technologists with skills in front-end web design and development, print and digital publishing, commercial photography and videography, and motion graphics and visual effects.

This is an intensive program of study emphasizing theory and hands-on laboratory practice.

The MS program in technical communication teaches students how to design, produce and manage print and digital texts using traditional and developing technologies.

The curriculum provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the professional, cultural and ethical issues that shape the field; it balances theory and practice to ensure students develop the analytical abilities, technological expertise and hands-on skills necessary for success as a technical communicator.

Students complete the program as accomplished writers, editors, designers and researchers who are able to respond effectively to a range of audiences, issues and communication situations.

Manufacturing engineering draws upon two distinct bodies of knowledge: manufacturing processes (i.e., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (i.e., manufacturing systems and management). This combination of topics is embedded in the MS program in manufacturing engineering, and students can follow their interests by developing deeper expertise in either manufacturing processes or the processes of manufacturing.

The program provides advanced technical content to help students prepare for career transitions and improve company competitiveness. It consists of a core set of courses designed to provide all students with advanced knowledge of manufacturing fundamentals and an introduction to systems engineering. The expertise developed in the core curriculum supports student focus areas building on existing unit faculty strengths, including automation, additive and subtractive manufacturing processes including computer numerical control machining, modeling and simulation, electronics manufacturing and manufacturing management.

Thesis, applied project and portfolio options are offered for the culminating experience.

The BA in business with a concentration in technology is an innovative, transdisciplinary degree program intended to prepare students for positions in a variety of professions in which business and technology play an important role.

This program incorporates business knowledge and a strong skill set in technology and is designed to help students realize and analyze the relationship between business and technology.

The core curriculum provides students with the intellectual tools to integrate their concentration areas, engage in transdisciplinary problem-solving and prepare for careers and graduate programs that increasingly cross disciplinary boundaries. An interdisciplinary studies student could choose to integrate concentrations like business and project management, psychology and social welfare, communication and justice studies, public administration and ethics, digital culture and computer gaming or many other unique combinations.

Interdisciplinary studies is an approach to answering questions, solving problems and addressing contemporary social issues from multiple perspectives. Interdisciplinary studies students take an active role in designing their educational plans and defining their career goals. The degree emphasizes written communication, versatility, self-assessment and critical thinking --- essential skills for today's dynamic world.

The BA in business with a concentration in communication is an innovative, transdisciplinary program that prepares students for positions in a variety of professions in which business and communication play an important role in ensuring success.

Students complete rigorous courses within the communication concentration in addition to the skill and core courses required of all W. P. Carey School of Business majors.

Graduates have specific knowledge of business practices and the capacity to effectively communicate complex business information
