Course Description

Explores airframe electrical components, including the inspection, service and repair of alternating and direct current electrical systems. Examines the application of electrical principles used in sensing, indicating and control of airframe systems. Prerequisites: AMT 193. Audit available.

Course Outcomes

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

  1. Repair and inspect aircraft electrical system components.
  2. Install, check, and service airframe electrical wiring, controls, switches, indicators, and protective devices.
  3. Read and interpret aircraft circuit diagrams.

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.
