Is avionics better than aerospace?
An aerospace engineer is responsible for designing and building the structure of whatever craft it is. An avionics engineer focuses on the electronic systems used within it, i.e. the way it communicates with basecamp, monitors fuel systems and reports on altitudes, temperatures and pressures.
What is aerospace avionics?
Our graduates are employed by aerospace companies, which maintain and repair aircraft instrumentation, communication, navigation and electrical systems. The job titles held by graduates include Aircraft Technician (Avionics), Aircraft Maintenance Technician and Unmanned Aircraft Operator.
How much do aerospace engineers make out of college?
The average salary for an entry level Aerospace Engineer is $69,041. An experienced Aerospace Engineer makes about $112,143 per year. Aerospace engineers design primarily aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design.
