The word avionics is a combination of aviation and electronics. In recent years,
the aircraft industry has experienced an exponential increase in the application
of digital communications, controls and navigation systems. On-board computers
now control vital flight functions of large aerial vehicles from takeoff to
automatically controlled landings while on-board sensors observe physical
phenomena as diverse as weather, ground vehicles, crop densities and other
aerial targets. The field of avionics is thus multi-disciplinary and
challenging. The Avionics Engineering Department of IAA offers MS and Ph.D.
degrees in Avionics. The Programme offered provides an opportunity of pursuing a
rigorous course of studies reflecting the challenges of today‘s high tech
electronics and aviation industry. The student are allowed to select courses
from a variety of specialties which are covered in depth and which probe the
frontiers of engineering and scientific knowledge. Special-study courses are
available to explore emerging technologies and their applications for solving
problems. Advanced concepts and applications are emphasized throughout the
programme and the thesis research. The aim is to provide the required knowledge
and substantial depth so that the alumni can continue to pursue lifelong
multidisciplinary learning as professional engineers
