Overview
The Flight Test Engineering programme from South East Technological University students will learn about the overall design of flight vehicles and its associated engineering systems in order to develop the appropriate test flights as part of the certification process.
Flight Test Engineering from Institute of Technology Carlow will teach students how to test aerial vehicles safely, measure their performance from raw data and determine their flying qualities. Students will learn the necessary measurement techniques, instrumentation and data analysis methods required to collect and reduce flight test data to standard atmospheric conditions and then expand those results for publication in pilots operating manuals.
Career Opportunities
Graduates will acquire the knowledge and technical expertise to work cross functionally and manage complex test campaigns throughout the entire lifecycle of a Flight Test project.
- Work and collaborate with test pilots, design engineers, aircraft maintenance engineers and certifying staff.
- Analyse, design, interpret performance data, pinpoint improvement strategies, and understand safety and ethical requirements related to the flight test.
- Develop the skill and technical knowledge to be the focal point of the team.
Successful graduates of this programme may apply to undertake a PhD at SETU Carlow or other third-level institutions.
Potential employment opportunities include:
- Avionics Engineer
- Mechanical Systems Engineer
- Navigation Engineer
- Systems Test Engineer
