Peggy’s Answer

When I went to Stockton University, there was a two semester internship available with the FAA. We worked on the software used by air traffic controllers at airports across the country. It was a great experience, and incorporates several of the topics you asked about. I searched to see if Stockton was still working with the FAA, it it appears that they are:

I would suggest exploring Stockton and learning more about their Computer Science degrees and programs, and see if the internship would meet your interests.

Hi Jonathan

Since you have already decided the carrier path, it is not much difficult to make a move. It is one of the best carrier paths.

Just find some good universities that provide education in air traffic control or aviation industry. Better way to choose a university would be to see if it is near your home or in some place which convenient for you and you will not have to travel much.

Also check how are the placements in those universities, so that you at least have a job once you complete you course. If you can get in touch with students already doing such courses, that will be great.

Abhishek recommends the following next steps:

Amber’s Answer

US News provides a yearly list of colleges ranked across various categories. Search through and see which ones are relevant to your interests.
From a piloting perspective, I'm not sure; however, are also listed interests in computer science and aviation.

Have you considered aerospace or material engineering?

Both of those are stable, goodpaying careers with a lot of growth and innovation that deal with both how aircraft/spacecrafts are built but also provide many benefits in terms of new technology to the world in general.
