Students graduating with the Master of Science in Flight Test Engineering degree from NTPS are expected to attain:

1. Mastery in the analysis of complex engineering problems and subdivision into less complex tasks.
2. Mastery of effective communications in a high workload, technically complex, interdisciplinary environment, while maintaining sound and supportive working relations with clients, partners, and leaders.
3. Mastery of team leadership where all members create a collaborative and inclusive environment, determine goals, plan tasks, and achieve objectives subject to limited resources and stringent deadlines while ensuring safe practices.
4. An ability to develop new experimentation approaches, determination of alternate paths, and employment of a wide variety of tools to analyze and interpret data, while applying engineering judgment to reach conclusions that uphold and improve safety within the flight test community and the broader aerospace industry.
5. Mastery of the evaluation of engineering test data and outcomes, their comparison to learned theory and concepts, and reporting of well-evidenced findings in a logical, accurate, and concise manner.
6. Mastery of trend recognition in the performance and behavior of an engineering system, to include interdependencies of subsystems and sound recommendations about its use based on engineering methodology.
7. Mastery of engineering design to define iterative processes to produce recommendations to meet an evolving set of requirements with consideration of safety, as well as environmental, and economic factors.
8. Mastery of the identification and characterization of risks associated with engineering test activities and proper management of them in a real-world context.
9. Mastery of discernment and adaptation of new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies and evaluation methods.
