The College of Technology and Aviation was established in 1991 as a result of the merger of the Kansas Technical Institute with Kansas State University. It offers two and four year programs in the fields of engineering technology and aviation, consisting primarily of associates and bachelors degrees in mechanical and construction engineering technology, electronic engineering technology, computer systems and web development technology, and airway science in the form of professional pilot and aviation maintenance degrees. The academic programs are centered around a hands-on philosophy that blends theory and application in an effort to prepare students for real-world situations in their field of study.
Approximately 400 undergraduate students are enrolled in the College of Technology and Aviation. The college complies with FAA Part 141 requirements for flight training.
