Sub Code Lectures Tutorial Practical Credit C 1 1:0 C : Introduction to Avionics Preamble: This course is offered as interdisciplinary course

. Avionics refer to the electronic systems used on aircraft, artificial satellites, and spacecraft. Avionic systems include communications, navigation, the display and management of multiple systems, and the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to perform individual functions. These can be as simple as a searchlight for a police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an airborne early warning platform. Program outcomes addressed
