Aircraft Electronics Technician
- Adult Only
As the need to maintain our nation’s vastly different aircraft continues to become more complex, the Aircraft Electronics Technician career major assists students in acquiring the knowledge, education and training standards associated with the daily duties, tasks and maintenance of today’s aviation electronics. Students will learn basic principles of physics and aerodynamics as well as safe ground handling procedures, aircraft drawings, and blueprints. Through instructor-lead lectures, open discussions, NIDA instructional support software, and extensive hands-on activities, successful students will become fluent in DC circuits, AC circuits, solid-state devices and technologies, digital systems technologies (the future of aviation instrumentation, a.k.a. ‘the glass cockpit”), high-reliability soldering techniques, terminal connectivity, and troubleshooting techniques.
