Overview Diploma Courses

    Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering - Avionics

    Avionics is the electrical and electronic branch of aircraft engineering, dealing with the electrical systems of both the aircraft and its engines.

    What Does an Avionics Engineer Do?

    Avionics engineers handle all electrical and electronic systems on an aircraft, including:

    With modern aircraft becoming more computerized and sensor-driven, avionics engineers are in high demand by airlines worldwide.

    Avionics and Other Engineering Disciplines

    It is important to note that airframes engineers, engines engineers, and avionics engineers work together. Avionics systems are used to control and monitor engine and airframe operations, meaning that without one, the other cannot function effectively. Aviation is a collaborative industry where every specialty plays a critical role in ensuring aircraft safety and efficiency.

    Avionics Specializations and Licensing

    Avionics engineering is divided into several specialized fields. Professionals in these areas receive an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s License (AMEL – Category ‘X’) upon qualification. The more specializations an engineer qualifies for, the more licenses they can obtain. Some of the main AMEL ‘X’ categories include:

    Kenya Aeronautical College offers a Diploma in Avionics Engineering, which serves as the required academic qualification before progressing to an internship and professional licensing exams.
