7 PROGRAM: Aviation Maintenance Technician SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Boulton / Keith Bird Fill the full time faculty position left vacant by Mr. Clifford Guse s untimely death. When this faculty member passed away, AMT was left with just two full time faculty members, which is not enough for the program. One of those two retired in He has been replaced by someone very new to the program. If the other long-time faculty member retires any time soon, it is crucial that we have a third faculty member learning the program now. This would provide continuity and stability to the program. Hiring to be completed before Fall 2012 Full time faculty salary and OPE Acquire a turboprop aircraft with fully functioning systems Priority # 3 Acquire additional equipment and tools needed for Powerplant instruction Priority # 4 Develop more CBT opportunities for AMT students Priority # 5 Adjust the math requirements for AMT and Flight Tech to one common class students from either program can take to fulfill requirements. More than 50% of the class work done by students would be significantly enhanced by having one turboprop aircraft with its systems intact and functioning. These systems would include instruments/avionics, electrical systems, cabin atmosphere systems, hydraulics, landing gear systems, deicing systems, flight control systems, engine, propeller and associated systems. The engines could be run out but still operable, saving on cost, but proving the experience needed by students. These include a new dishwasher/parts cleaner, Lycoming direct drive engine specialty tools, precision measuring equipment and inspection devices. These would include commercial space launch vehicle training, reciprocating engine training, and non-destructive testing and inspection. Currently, AMT students must take MTH 076 and MTH 086. Flight Tech students must take MTH 095. Students who take both programs must take all three math classes. All students must go to main campus for their math. If one class could suffice for part of AMT requirements, and the same class satisfy FT requirements, it would be better for students, and justify offering that math class at the airport. Acquired by Fall 2012 Purchase during the fiscal year.
