Why Train In Aviation Electronics Technology (Avionics)?

Trained technicians secure the safety of flight. Our program is designed to teach students entry-level technical skills in electronics that are applicable in aviation as well as other industries. Students study FAA regulations and learn the proper use of basic tools and test equipment, study electronic theory, high-reliability soldering and wiring, and have hands-on training in the installation, troubleshooting, and repair of electronic and avionics systems.

Those who graduate from the AET Program at Spartan College have been trained in theories and skills used across many different positions and industries. This includes but is not limited to Aerospace, Communications, Simulator Development, Robotics, UAV, production, renewable energy and beyond.

What is Aviation Electronics?

Aviation Electronics Technology (AET), also known as Avionics, deals with aircraft electronic equipment and is a specific field of electronics. Avionics incorporates equipment including radios, navigation equipment, autopilot, cables, entertainment systems, and more. It is vital that these systems be in optimal working order and not interfere with one another for the safety of the aircraft. Our program offers a combination of classroom theory and hands-on lab training.

Topics you’ll learn about include:

Communication and navigation systems
Gyroscopes and autopilot systems
Instrumentation and controls
Pulse microwave systems (Radar)
Unmanned aerial systems (Drones)
AC, DC, and digital electronics
