The Aviation Maintenance Technology program is an approved Federal Aviation Administration Part 147 school and is a nationally recognized course of study designed to prepare graduates for entry into positions as maintenance technicians in general aviation, corporate aviation, airlines, or aerospace manufacturing. In addition to traditional aircraft maintenance courses, the curriculum emphasizes modern aircraft systems including electronics, composite structures, automatic controls and turbine engines. The division offers two Aviation Maintenance Undergraduate Certificates, one with an Airframe and the other with a Powerplant emphasis.
The FAA-approved AMT undergraduate certificate programs provide all of the required content to prepare students to achieve FAA certification as aircraft mechanics with Airframe and/or Powerplant ratings. Upon completion of the UAA undergraduate certificate programs, students may take written, oral and practical tests that are administered by FAA designees. Those who achieve passing scores on these tests are awarded the Aircraft Mechanic Certificate with appropriate rating(s) by the FAA. After earning either undergraduate certificate, additional study allows a student to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology.
