Same as if in person. What do you think it would be?

If you're considering some form of remote learning course, I'd suggest requesting a prospectus from each of your proposed teaching establishments.

Do you know of a correspondence course for Aeronautical engineering?

If you can find one in such a specialised field (I am not aware of any myself) then the specific course content and general information can be obtained off the course providers website or prospectus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospectus_(university)

Do you really want to do Aeronautical engineering? If so you should consider going and doing a more recognised university course. In such a specialised and small field it will be very difficult to get a job without recognised qualifications and experience that you can only get through a recognised university or polytechnic (well the qualification, the university may be able to help with work experience or even job placement).

If you plan on using correspondence courses for your education, you should look into another field of study. As jack of all trade(3) said, this is a specialised field made up of complex systems and sub-systems, that requires hands on shop,(lab) time to understand how everything inter-acts with each other, which will answer all your questions of, "Why did they do it this way and for what reason?" The days of Wilbur and Orville Wright designs went away, back in the early 1920's. This is not a subject that you can just pick up a book (Internet, today), then walk way saying, "I, now is one."

Over the years working as a QC Inspector in Commercial Aviation, I have seen enough design flaws, like this, to make me wonder where a particular engineer got their education. At 30,000ft is not the time to submit an ECO! I mean no offence to to the Engineers here. Thats my 2¢ DJ

i have a friend who, like you, is a QC inspector. He travels to his out-of-town inspection assignments by train. Even to Delhi which takes 36 hours. Unfortunately, i remember him whenever i am about to take off for Delhi

If given the choice, I too prefer a train, saves a lot head aches from being called into the cockpit and answering questions, that as pilots they should know! (Pretty Scary)

One quick example; after spending 3 weeks in a class, sitting next to a Captain, going over Navigation and interlocking components (AHRS, EFIS, WX Radar, etc.). A week later, this Capt. seen me board his flight, called me to the cockpit, thew up his hands and asked how all this $hit worked. Long story short, I never flew with that man again!

You can choose either engines or structure of aircraft or both
