Hello!

I have a friend who will soon be completing her BS in electrical
engineering. She is interested in doing graduate work in 
electronic systems for space vehicles; I believe this is called
avionics. However, the programs she's looked at so far seem to
be for M.E.'s or Aero/Astro people -- they require lots of study of
aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, and the like.

Are there any schools that have graduate programs in avionics for
electrical engineers? i.e. the control theory and issues involved,
without getting too deeply into Aero/Astro or ME considerations? Is it
reasonable to expect that there is such a program? Or are space systems
so complicated that one must be well versed in the physical design of
space vehicles before one can work on the electrical design?

Thanks in advance!

   Steve
