The term avionics is a mix of aviation and electronics. In recent years, the aircraft industry has seen an exponential expansion in the use of digital communications, control, and navigation technologies. On-board computers now regulate critical flight tasks for big aerial vehicles, from takeoff to automatically controlled landings, while on-board sensors monitor physical phenomena such as weather, ground vehicles, crop densities, and other aerial targets. Avionics is thus a multidisciplinary and demanding field. IAA’s Avionics Engineering Department provides MS and PhD degrees in avionics engineering and information security. The provided programs allow students to pursue difficult courses of study that reflect the challenges of today’s high-tech IT and aviation industries. Students can choose courses from a number of specializations, this one in-depth topics and push the boundaries of technical and scientific knowledge. Special-study courses are available to examine emerging technologies and their applications in problem solving. Advanced concepts and applications are stressed throughout the curriculum, including the thesis research. The goal is to provide the necessary knowledge and depth so that graduates can continue to pursue lifelong transdisciplinary learning as professionals.

Eligibility Criteria
18 years of study in an identical discipline as specified below, with a minimum CGPA of 3.0/4.0, 3.75/5.0 (in the Semester System) or First Division (in the Annual System), in M.Phil/MS/Equivalent with research work. The candidate must have completed at least 30 credit hours of coursework OR 24 credit hours of coursework plus 6 credit hours of thesis/research work. The percentage is only valid if the CGPA is not specified in the degree/transcript.
Scope
Avionics engineering is a tough discipline. Job opportunities are scarce, but those that offer a decent wage package and a high social status. With the advancement of space technology in Pakistan and the PAF’s search for better local fighter jets, the scope of avionics is expanding and its demand is rising.
The demand for Research & Development is likewise quite strong. In addition to the usage of drone technology, new advances in small satellites, such as CubeSats, which are used for a variety of applications such as communications or data collection, are becoming increasingly popular. Commercial businesses are increasingly exploring using drones for delivery.
