I am translating a diploma from an Institute (School) of Aeronautics, complete with the exams the student wrote.
One of the subjects listed is ACROTECNICA.
I somehow don't think acrotechnics works, because the word doesn't exist or make sense.... any suggestions?
Literal translation doesn't always work when translating courses, for example: Elettroradioradartecnica, actually translates to Electronic Radio/Radar Systems or Radio Radar Communications.
But I don;t know what Acrotecnica is.
Thank you in advance

aeronautical engineering
I would imagine it's a typo for aerotecnica.

Comment: "Thank you very much for the confirmation, I wasn't sure if it was a typo or just a subject I wasn't familiar with."

It also can be acro-tecnica, in which case, see what I found.
