AMT 194 or (AMT 194A and AMT 194B)

Course Description

Examines the use of mechanical and electronic systems in sensing, communicating, and displaying information. Explores solid state and digital devices, sensors, and special circuits used in aircraft instrumentation systems, fuel systems and fire protection systems. Analyzes the methods used in testing, inspecting, and troubleshooting those systems. Prerequisites: AMT 194 or (AMT 194A and AMT 194B). Audit available.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Apply the principles of operation and system troubleshooting methods for aircraft and engine instruments.
  2. Apply electrical schematics to troubleshoot and repair aircraft fire protection systems.
  3. Perform airframe and engine conformity inspections.
  4. Identify, troubleshoot and repair aircraft and engine fuel systems.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Evaluations by exams, quizzes and lab work.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.
