Avionics Technology, COC

AVC 100 Aerospace Safety 1 Cr Hr

This course provides an in-depth study of the human and safety practices required for work in aviation and manufacturing fields. Topics include: introduction to OSHA regulations; safety tools, equipment, and procedures; hazardous waste, and first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

AVT 100 Technical Mathematics 3 Cr Hrs

Provides technical math principles.

AVT 101 Basic Electricity & Electronics 3 Cr Hrs

For beginning students who have little or no knowledge about fundamental concepts of electricity and electronics. It is helpful, however, if students have some basic knowledge of algebra and trigonometry. In covering fundamentals of electricity and electronics, this course focuses on essential topics for the technician and the all-important development of testing and troubleshooting skills for electronic circuits and systems.

AVT 102 Basic Electricity & Electronics Laboratory 4 Cr Hrs

Developed especially for use with the AVT 101 Basic Electricity & Electronics course. The experiments are coordinated with the text used in AVT 101. The experiments are presented starting with a review of mathematical concepts important for the understanding of the fundamental underlining principles of electricity and electronics. These experiments build on one another and provide validation of lessons learned in theory
provided in AVT 101.

AVT 103 Introduction to Avionics 3 Cr Hrs

Covers major phases of avionics from navigation, communication and surveillance to sophisticated systems using state-of-the-art sensors and computations. Procedures and practices are also presented. The intent is to give students and/or technicians an overview of the entire avionics field, not just a single airborne or ground system. An important role of avionics and aviation is the abbreviations and acronyms used in the aviation industry. These are introduced and emphasis is placed on the most commonly used in today’s environment.

AVT 108 Wiring & Cannon Plug Laboratory 2 Cr Hrs

Designed to help students prepare to troubleshoot and repair wire harnesses and cannon plug repair.
