Why Study Avionics and Electronic Systems Engineering?

Avionics and electronic systems engineering is suitable for you if you are interested in developing, maintaining and engineering the infrastructure of electronic networks within the defence, aviation and other industries which have an avionics application.

This program has been designed to meet the national skills shortage in the defence industry and, in particular, the shortage in South Australia. To enable this development, a pool of suitably qualified engineers must be available and this program will assist in producing those professionals. This program will help to fulfil the demand of the rapidly growing South Australian defence electronics industry, and the systems engineering expertise will be useful in many commercial electronics applications as well.

What will you learn?

The academic program focuses on analysis and design and combines knowledge from electrical engineering, systems engineering, mathematics, physics, computer systems, programming and electrical and electronic technologies. In later years the focus shifts towards systems engineering, the integration of complex electronic subsystems and application in the domain of airborne electronic systems, computing, mathematics and finance. The program emphasises engineering problem solving, analysis and design, computer-based methods, research, communication and management skills.
