Students take a field trip to the Institute of Aviation at the University's Willard Airport, whey they learn about the applied side of aeronautical engineering. Students learn about jet theory, navigation, flight controls, from an Institute of Aviation pilot, then are given the opportunity to go for a flight in a small 4-seater airplane.

Another field trip during the week is to a local remote controlled (RC) airplane field. While there, students get the opportunity to see what it's like to pilot an RC airplane.
