Electrical Technology Concentration

Do you love electronics and airplanes? The Electrical Technology Concentration of Aircraft Systems prepares you to work with both. The aviation industry sees the modern aircraft as a platform of multiple systems. Normally, electronics control each system and serve as the “glue” which integrates the systems. This degree in aviation prepares you to work on any aspect of aircraft electronics. FYI: The industry calls it “avionics.”

Grads of this concentration are aggressively recruited (even for engineering jobs). Electrical systems concentration grad placement has been at or near 100% for years. The Aeronautical Science Industry Advisory Committee and company recruiters expect this trend to continue. Get ready for a starting salary in the mid-fifties!

Cessna Aircraft does major recruiting at LETU. James “ JD" Terry is one of our grads at Cessna.
