Question
Dear Sir,
        I am in final year of electronics engineering. I wanted to know what courses  are available so that i can easily get a job in Aviation Industry


Answer
Hi,

I think your best bet would be to find an Avionics (or Aviation Electronics) course to take--this would add to your existing knowledge of electronics and apply it to the aircraft....the University Aviation Association has a listing of universities and colleges that offer aviation.  Check with them at www.uaa.aero for their COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE which is the title of the publication with the list of institutions.

Other than that, I would use a search engine like Google or Yahoo and search for Avionics training programs.

Best wishes,
