Degree in Avionics Engineering

What is avionic system? It is navigation, communications, management and display of multiple systems and the other systems with their particular functions which are inside of aircraft. For example, it can be just a searchlight for a helicopter or complicated tactical system of airborne early warning platform.

The avionics engineer’s duty is to do tasks relating to the electronic avionic systems which are used in this industry. Avionic industry contains all (including missiles, aircraft, spacecraft and satellites) worked out to leave the land with electronic devices on board.

Avionics engineers may do the following:

• make sure that aircraft electro-mechanical and electronic systems (including cabin and oxygen pressure) are working properly and meet all safety and regulatory requirements;
• address to wire diagrams, service bulletin and manuals of a manufacturer of aircraft to know how the components of aircraft should be wired;
• maintain the electro-mechanical and electronic systems of aircraft;
• repair and replace out of order components;
• install, wire, replace and remove parts of equipment;
• examine all the aircraft components and electronic systems;
• keep records of all repair and maintenance work.

Education and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in the field of electrical engineering is the education which is required for an avionics engineering job. Experience is also required. Avionics engineers should have engineering knowledge and abilities which allow them to realize the engineering process from the first till the last step. Engineer should understand initial conception, all stages of manufacturing. They have to accomplish testing and certification as well as customer support. Knowledge of computer assisted design may be required for preparing drawings.

For the avionics engineer the technical knowledge is a key thing for doing the job excellent.

As we’ve said to be avionic engineer it is necessary to have Bachelor’s degree.

Receiving bachelor’s degree in avionics engineering it is necessary to complete the training which are required for earning power plant and for receiving the certificate of the Federal Aviation Administration. Such course of training includes standard safety lessons and pre-flight procedures. As well students get knowledge on how to repair logs and how to keep flight. Students are capable to sign up a bachelor’s degree program after they had earned a diploma of high school.

Program Coursework for Getting Avionics Engineer degree

Electronics and electronic control coursework are the obligatory courses for avionics students.

During these lessons students get understanding and basic knowledge about processing of signals for aircraft control, recording flight data, giving pilots information regarding atmospheric conditions. After studying electronics and electronic control students start coursework on:

• Engineering math
• Microwave and radar signals
• Blueprint reading
• Aviation safety
• Aircraft manufacturing
• Microprocessors

There are many schools which may offer avionic engineer degree:

Iowa State University

After graduation this university gives Doctorate First Professional Degree Master. Undergraduates will have Bachelor degree.

University Of Michigan

It offers all necessary courses and gives Avionics Engineer Bachelor’s degree and Avionics Engineer Master’s degree

The University of Adelaide

It offers Bachelor’s degree of Engineering (in the field of Avionics and Electronic Systems)
