Acrotecnica

Da Italiano a Inglese Scienze Aerospaziale/Aviazione, Aeronautica/Spazio Aeronautics
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

@ Alice Knowing the Institution that issued the diploma try and see what courses they are having.
It also can be acro-tecnica, in which case, see what I found.
British Dictionary definitions for acro-
acro- combining form
1.denoting something at a height, summit, top, tip, beginning, or end: acropolis, acrogen
2.denoting an extremity of the human body: acromegaly
Word Origin: from Greek akros extreme, topmost. Hope it helps.
