Academic Advising
Program Description
Students learn the skills to become an aircraft electronics technician, commonly referred to as an avionics technician. This new program also helps A & P students enhance their skills in Aviation Maintenance. Students will gain experience and knowledge as it relates to advanced systems for modern aircraft as well as legacy aircraft. Newer aircraft are becoming more advanced and complex every year due to advancing technology and FAA standards. This requires specialized knowledge for maintenance. Students use advanced test equipment, computers, and develop good troubleshooting skills. This course will specifically focus on NCATT AET (National Center for Aerospace & Transportation Technologies - Aircraft Electronics Technician) certification with endorsements that show a high standard of training and knowledge.
Career Opportunities
Avionics Technicians are employed with General Aviation, Business Aircraft, or Airlines. Would also assist Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) mechanics that get specialized Avionics training to be more marketable.
Transfer/Articulation Information
As an elective to any USHE institution. Currently no other USHE institutions teach specialized avionics courses, USU does have an FCC license test prep.
