3.00 Credits
Constant inspection of aircraft and components is essential to providing aircraft that are safe for flight. In most cases, it is not cost effective or practical to damage or destroy a component in order to determine the useable life remaining. Also, operational environments vary widely so it may not be realistic to rely on the manufacturer’s original tests to establish time between failures. Consequently, it is necessary to devise ways of testing and inspecting components without the technician having to replace them at each inspection. In this course, students will be engaged in an advanced study of applied techniques for selecting and performing nondestructive inspection processes involved in the aviation industry. Techniques involving the use of sophisticated test equipment will be utilized with a high degree of practical application.

4.00 Credits
The use of airborne radio equipment is essential to modern day air travel. Without it, the ability to fly to a desired destination in varying weather conditions, while avoiding other aircraft doing the same, would be an impossible task. A technician’s familiarity with aircraft warning, communication, and navigation systems is vital to safe air travel. This course will examine these systems and allow students to gain practical experience in the testing, troubleshooting, and required inspections associated with them.

3.00 Credits
Large and small aircraft utilize rigged cables or electro-hydraulic actuators to transmit the pilot’s desired maneuvers to the aircraft’s flight controls. Also, complex devices such as entry doors, landing gear systems, and lift augmentation devices can require elaborate rigging techniques in order to function properly. In this course, students will begin with a review of the basic sciences for the aviation maintenance technician, including aerodynamics, flight stability, and theory of flight for fixed wing aircraft. In addition, advanced principles and techniques of aircraft rigging, assembly and structure alignment will be studied and put to practical use.
-
3.00 Credits
Rotary-wing aircraft have many distinct characteristics, which make their maintenance different from conventional fixed-wing airplanes. The popularity and widespread use of helicopters has created a need to train technicians in maintenance practices specific to rotary wing aircraft. In this course, students will start with a review of the basic sciences for the aviation maintenance technician, including aerodynamics, flight stability, and the theory of flight for rotary wing aircraft. Upon completion of this review, application of advanced principles and techniques specific to rigging rotary aircraft will be accomplished.

5.00 Credits
A crucial role of the Aviation Maintenance Technician is to determine “airworthiness”-- whether an aircraft (and its components) conforms to the original type design or properly altered condition and is safe for flight. In this course, aviation maintenance students will hone their critical inspection skills by studying the application of Federal Aviation Regulations pertinent to aircraft maintenance or the aircraft technician and, with the help of aircraft specific technical data, perform an examination of the disposition of the required maintenance records, use proper inspection equipment and aids, and complete a thorough inspection of an airframe and powerplant along with all its related systems. Students will also learn the proper procedures for returning an aircraft to service after maintenance or inspection.

6.00 Credits
Once students finish this program and complete the FAA certification process, they will be expected to enter the workforce and master the trade through experience and further training. Starting this journey can seem overwhelming to the new technician. By placing students into real-life situations within a controlled environment, valuable experience can be gained as well as insight into future expectations. In this course, students will first complete the cooling and exhaust portion of their powerplant training. They will then be subjected to work place scenarios in the hangar. Assignments will include tasks requiring them to research procedures, perform repairs, and create proper documentation.

3.00 Credits
Changes to equipment and the accumulation of debris while an aircraft is in service can result in compromising changes to its weight and balance. If the weight of an aircraft or the distribution of weight is not held to stringent boundaries, the safety of the aircraft, and perhaps its ability to take off, is compromised. In this course, there will be an in depth look at aircraft and helicopter weight and balance. Students will study the principles of computing weight and balance, computing and correction of adverse load conditions, and the basics of computing weight and balance for transport category aircraft. Procedures for weighing aircraft and documentation of weight and balance data are emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
Awareness of how the individual technician or the people around him/her perform the tasks as expected, understanding the caveats surrounding these tasks, and identifying areas where mistakes can be made during the process are all a very important part of modern aircraft maintenance. Continual improvement in the detection and perception by individuals can dramatically reduce the errors that occur in the performance of aircraft maintenance. In this course, students will examine the major human causative agent in aircraft accidents: the human being.

3.00 Credits
As a student progresses through the AMT program, an overwhelming amount of information spanning a multitude of diverse subject matter is presented. It would be unrealistic to expect the student to retain all this information for such a long time before becoming eligible for formal FAA certificate testing. This course prepares the graduate to take the FAA National Knowledge exam. A series of practice tests are used to determine competency of all subject areas tested. Areas of weakness are also reviewed. To successfully complete the course and be given permission to take the FAA exams, an average score of 80% must be achieved in all three areas of testing: General, Airframe and Powerplant.

5.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of biological anthropology. It discusses anthropology’s relationship with other biological and social sciences, surveys nonhuman primates, examines some aspects and examples of nonhuman behavior in depth, covers topics in current human diversity, and looks at human evolutionary history. A distance learning (DL) version of Introduction to Physical Anthropology is available. Students taking the Web-based version of the course must be familiar with computers, have an e-mail address, and access to the Internet. Course content is identical to that presented in a traditional classroom setting. Examinations for distance-learning courses are administered at the Testing Center.
