Aviation Maintenance Technology

This course introduces students to the applications of basic electricity, fundamentals of AC & DC, basic electrical components, devices using semiconductors, generation and storage of electricity, introduction to solid-state components, advanced solid-state components, frequency generation, digital theory, fundamentals of flight, corrosion control, aircraft manuals and drawings, aircraft safety, tools, and test equipment. 

This course is a continuation of AET101 and prepares students for the avionics applications which includes Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Elements 1, 3, and 8, NCATT AET, Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS), Airbus A320 Systems, and Transport Category Aircraft Certificates.

This course provides a broad introduction to the history of aviation and aerospace as well as aircraft types by considering a number of topics related to the role, function and operation of aircraft. The course introduces the fundamental science of flight (aerodynamics), propulsion and structures. Emerging technologies and contemporary issues in aviation and aerospace are also addressed to facilitate an understanding of emerging challenges in 21st century. The course will provide essential knowledge relating to all technical aspects of aviation, including but not limited to aircraft operation, structures, systems, powerplants and maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO).
