Airframe and Aircraft Powerplant Maintenance Technology - Day (AS Degree S0911)
Technology and Health Division
Degree S0911
This program prepares students to enter employment as certified airframe and powerplant technicians in the aircraft maintenance industry. Training is given in the overhaul of various airframes, powerplants, and their components. Completion of this degree leads to an Associate in Science Degree or a Certificate. Excellent opportunities for employment exist in this area of training. Certain administrative, quality control, and flight personnel careers require the applicant to hold a valid A & P Certificate.
This program offers a day (full-time) or evening (full-time) program option. The only difference between the two options is the course numbering and time required to complete the program. Day program courses AIRM 65A and AIRM 65B are equivalent to evening program courses AIRM 95A, AIRM 95B, AIRM 96A, AIRM 96B, AIRM 97A, AIRM 97B, AIRM 98A, and AIRM 98B. Day program courses AIRM 66A and AIRM 66B are equivalent to evening program courses AIRM 90A, AIRM 90B, AIRM 91A, AIRM 91B, AIRM 92A, AIRM 92B, AIRM 93A, and AIRM 93B. Students desiring a Bachelor’s Degree (transfer program) should consult with an advisor to discuss transferability of courses.
This degree requires the completion of General Education coursework plus the following:

Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, a student will be able to:
- Connect learned theory with real-world problems and develop a logical solution to the problem.
- Locate, interpret, and apply technical data from industry manuals and apply that technical data to a maintenance situation.
- Determine several possible solutions for dealing with a given situation and then decide which solution(s) are ethical and which are not.
- Demonstrate proper use of aircraft repair equipment.
- Apply knowledge of aeronautics, aircraft maintenance, and aviation regulations.
- Inspect an aircraft/aircraft component and determine if the unit conforms to industry established standards.
