Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able
to:
1. Demonstrate required Basic Electricity competencies covered in FAR Appendix B to Part
147 General Curriculum Subjects (A), numbers 1-6, for capacitance, inductance, electrical
power, voltage, current, resistance, continuity, electrical circuits and aircraft electrical circuit
diagrams, solid state devices and logic functions, and batteries.
2. Demonstrate required Weight and Balance competencies covered in FAR Appendix B to Part
147 General Curriculum Subjects (C), numbers 11-12, for weighing aircraft, complete
weight-and-balance checks, and data recording.
3. Demonstrate required Ground Operation and Servicing competencies covered in FAR
Appendix B to Part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (F), numbers 20-21, for ground
operation of aircraft, typical ground operation hazards, and fuels.
4. Demonstrate required Cleaning and Corrosion Control competencies covered in FAR
Appendix B to Part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (G), numbers 22-23, for cleaning
materials, aircraft corrosion, and aircraft cleaning.
5. Demonstrate required Maintenance Forms and Records competencies covered in FAR
Appendix B to Part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (I), numbers 28-29, for descriptions of
work performed, aircraft discrepancies, corrective actions, typical aircraft maintenance
records, and required maintenance forms, records, and inspection reports.
6. Demonstrate required Maintenance Publications competencies covered in FAR Appendix B
to Part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (K), numbers 31-32, for information contained in
FAA and manufacturers’ aircraft maintenance specifications, data sheets, manuals,
publications, related Federal Aviation Regulations, Airworthiness Directives, Advisory
material and technical data.
7. Demonstrate required Mechanic Privileges and Limitations competencies covered in FAR
Appendix B to Part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (L), number 33, for mechanic
privileges within the limitations prescribed by FAR Part 65.
Assessment Measures: Assessment of all learning outcomes will be measured using the
following methods:
1. Department designed Quizzes and Tests.
2. Projects that must be completed with a score of 70% or higher.
3. Students must complete a minimum of 200 contact hours.
Information to be included on the Instructor’s Course Syllabi:

Disability Statement: Baton Rouge Community College seeks to meet the needs of its
students in many ways. See the Office of Disability Services to receive suggestions for
disability statements that should be included in each syllabus.

Grading: The College grading policy should be included in the course syllabus. Any
special practices should also go here. This should include the instructor’s and/or the
department’s policy for make-up work. For example in a speech course, “Speeches not
given on due date will receive no grade higher than a sixty” or “Make-up work will not
be accepted after the last day of class.”

Attendance Policy: Include the overall attendance policy of the college. Instructors may
want to add additional information in individual syllabi to meet the needs of their
courses.

General Policies: Instructors’ policy on the use of things such as beepers and cell phones
and/or hand held programmable calculators should be covered in this section.

Cheating and Plagiarism: This must be included in all syllabi and should include the
penalties for incidents in a given class. Students should have a clear idea of what
constitutes cheating in a given course.

Safety Concerns: In some programs this may be a major issue. For example, “No
student will be allowed in the safety lab without safety glasses.” General statements such
as, “Items that may be harmful to one’s self or others should not be brought to class.”

Library/ Learning Resources: Since the development of the total person is part of our
mission, assignments in the library and/or the Learning Resources Center should be
included to assist students in enhancing skills and in using resources. Students should be
encouraged to use the library for reading enjoyment as part of lifelong learning.
