The academic content of the Bachelor of Science in Aircraft Electrical and Electronics is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and skills in electrical and electronic systems required in the aviation industry. The curriculum usually starts with basic engineering courses and then focuses on aircraft-specific electrical and electronic systems.
Basic Engineering Courses: In the first years of the program, students are taught basic sciences such as mathematics, physics and general engineering principles. These courses provide the ability to analyze and solve engineering problems. In addition, basic electrical engineering concepts are introduced and topics such as circuit theory, electromagnetic field theory and electronic circuits are covered.
Specialization Courses: In later semesters, the curriculum deepens with courses specific to aircraft systems. These courses include avionics systems, aircraft electrical systems, flight control systems, navigation and communication systems. These courses provide a comprehensive understanding of how aircraft electrical and electronic systems are designed, operated, tested and maintained.
Practical and Laboratory Studies: In addition to theoretical knowledge, practical applications play an important role in the program. Students gain experience using aircraft simulators, real aircraft systems installed in a laboratory environment and various software tools. These applications develop students' ability to generate solutions to real world problems.
Projects and Senior Thesis: The curriculum also includes students developing projects individually or in groups and preparing dissertations as their final year work. These projects and theses enable students to synthesize the knowledge they have learned and produce new and original solutions.
Professional Development Courses: Students also prepare for their careers by taking courses in professional ethics, occupational health and safety, and project management. These courses help graduates understand how to act professionally in the industry.
This curriculum structure has been carefully designed to ensure that students are equipped to meet the demanding requirements of the aviation industry by specializing in aircraft electrical and electronic systems.
