The Avionics Program is designed to enhance the knowledge base of an FAA certified Aviation Maintenance Technician in the complexities of today's aircraft electrical and avionics systems. The student may earn a FCC General Radiotelephone Operator License. By the successful completion of the required courses, the student will obtain the Technical Certificate in Avionics. The Avionics Technical Certificate Program prepares graduates to maintain modern aircraft avionic systems. These aircraft systems fall under the categories of power generation, communications and radar, and navigation and flight control.
Basic courses emphasize an understanding of electrical, electronic and computer fundamentals.
Advanced courses apply these fundamentals to the operation of the aircraft systems. Courses for this program are offered at the main campus and at the Indiana Center for Aviation Technology at Hulman Regional Airport, and travel to both locations will be necessary. Students graduating from the Avionics program participate in evaluations of proficiency in general and technical education.
