| Degree/Award: | Bachelor |
Electronics is the key technology enabling the sophisticated devices and systems upon which we rely every day. Even utilitarian devices like washing machines, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners depend on sophisticated electronic components. Increasingly powerful electronics is now an integral part of our cars, communications and entertainment equipment.
The most sophisticated and expensive electronic systems are the avionics systems found in modern aircraft. They are responsible for flight control, navigation, landing, collision avoidance, engine management, communications and in-flight entertainment, amongst other functions. Without these the inexpensive and safe air transport industry that we enjoy today would not be possible. In the development of modern aircraft more money is spent on avionics than all other components.
Avionics and electronic systems engineers design complex electronic systems. They are educated in a wide range of modern electronic subsystems, with particular focus on those technologies used in avionics systems. These include computer systems and networks, guidance and control, navigation, radar, communications, multi-media and information technologies.
This program includes a foundation of fundamental studies in mathematics, physics, computer systems, programming, electrical and electronic technologies and aerodynamics. In later years the focus shifts towards systems engineering, the integration of complex electronic subsystems and application to airborne electronic systems.
Graduates will be prepared to take on roles in all industries relying upon highly complex electronic systems, including the defence and aviation industries as well as telecommunications, automotive, commercial electronics and energy industries.
This program includes a foundation of fundamental studies in mathematics, physics, computer systems, programming and electrical and electronic technologies. In later years the focus shifts towards systems engineering, the integration of complex electronic subsystems and application in the domain of airborne electronic systems. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved work experience at some time during their four years of study.
Please note that each level of the program is intended to be rolled out progressively on an annual basis, therefore in 2010, only levels one through three are available.

The program will prepare graduates for employment in all types of industries involved in the specification, design, integration, manufacture or maintenance of complex electronic systems. Emphasis on the avionics application area will prepare graduates particularly for roles in the defence and aviation industries, but graduates could also expect to find employment in the telecommunications, automotive, commercial electronics and energy industries.
The program is designed to provide the necessary academic requirements for professional membership of Engineers Australia and many overseas engineering bodies.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
