school. "They'll work together under the guidance of faculty
advisors from our avionics, as well as our mechatronics
programs. We also plan to enhance learning by giving
students the opportunity to be involved in semester-long
team projects in avionics installation and troubleshooting on
some of our many aircraft in our hangar."
Degree programs
Aviation maintenance students can earn an associate
or bachelor's degree, or an airframe and powerplant
certificate. Students wanting to study avionics can follow
the bachelor's degree program in electronics engineering
technology with a concentration in avionics. The college's
aviation program also offers additional degrees in
aircraft operations (flying), aircraft dispatch and airport
management.

"The degree program provides in-depth application of
theory and physical sciences to advanced avionics systems
found on today's modern aircraft," said Minhas, referring
to the avionics-focused electronics engineering technology
program.
The curriculum includes courses on electrical circuits,
digital electronics, aircraft communications and navigation
systems, and aircraft pulse/radar systems, all of which are
in the associate degree program, too. The bachelor's degree
program's additional avionics courses cover aircraft power
and distribution systems; flight control and management
systems; electronics flight instrument systems; long-range
navigation systems; integrated avionics systems; and traffic
alert and collision avoidance systems.
