Avionics and Electronic Systems Engineering
Flying Electronics
Avionics as used in military aircraft almost always forms the biggest
part of any development budget, in some cases up to 80%! |
Engineer your Horizons
New in 2008, this program is concerned with the principles and technologies that are used in the design and manufacture of complex modern electronic subsystems, with particular focus on those technologies used in avionics systems - including computer systems and networks, guidance and control, navigation, radar and communications technologies. Graduates of this program will have specialised knowledge in the principles of electrical and electronic design, computer science, digital systems, signal processing, communications, and systems engineering. The program includes a foundation of fundamental studies in 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.
The program will prepare graduates for employment in all types of industries involved in the specification, design, integration, manufacture or maintenance of complex electronic systems. Emphasis on the avionics application area will prepare graduates particularly for roles in the defence and aviation industries but graduates could also expect to find employment in the telecommunications, automotive, commercial electronics and energy industries.
The first two years of the Avionics and Electronic Systems Engineering are devoted to building the engineering, mathematics and physics foundations, followed by specialist avionics and electronic engineering subjects in the final two years. This program emphasises engineering problem solving, analysis and design, computer-based methods and research, communication and management skills.
