Qualitative Assessments
CTE and Vocational: Community and labor market
relevance. Present evidence of community need
based on Advisory Committee input, industry need
data, McIntyre Environmental Scan, McKinsey
Economic Report, licensure and job placement rates,
etc.
"Thin Gray Line" The industry needs new
technicians. By 2012 the number of airliners will
have doubled over the period of one decade.
These aircraft will need qualified technicians to
maintain them. Viet Nam era technicians are
begininning to retire and the industry will need
to replace these trained individuals.
Commercial aviation is predicted to grow by
35% in the next four years.
Transfer and Basic Skills: Describe how your
course offerings address transfer, basic skills, and
program completion.
AMT is made up of forty-four different subject
areas as mandated by the FAA. Currently AMT
has articulation agrements with San Jose State
and Embry-Riddle University. Both institutions
accept all units completed in the AMT program.
AMT courses require critical thinking,
interpretation of manuals, following of
directions, manual skills, and the application of
Federal Aviation Regulations to the
maintenance and inspection of aircraft systems.
All course work is laid out in a progressive
manner that encourages the AMT student, and
aids the completion of the program.

VIII. Action Plan
Please describe your plan for responding to the above data. Consider curriculum,
pedagogy/instructional, scheduling, and marketing strategies. Also, please reference any cross district
collaboration with the same discipline at other Peralta colleges.
Include overall plans/goals and specific action steps.
AMT has for many years suffered from a lack of marketing which has resulted in lower enrollment comapred
to other A&P schools. AMT has sought to come up with innovative methods to promote the program.
One of the faculty has been designated by the FAA as a saftey team member. Scheduled safety
seminars will be held at the air facility. These seminars will target certificated airmen in the Bay Area.
Utilizing the air facility for the seminars will expose the AMT program to the aviation community to the
program. The FAA will require a curriculum change beginning Fall of 2012. AMT staff will, as soon as
FAA documentation becomes available, work on the new curriculum and present to the curriculum
committee. Several airlines have expressed an interest in donating an airliner to the program. The Port
of Oakland has been contacted concerning the donation of additional land to store this aircraft. Full time
instructors will need to be hired to replace those instructors that will be retiring.
IX. Needs
Please describe and prioritize any faculty, classified, and student assistant needs.
One full time AMT instructor will be retiring December, 2010. Another full time instructor will be retiring June,
2011. As per 14 CFR Part 147 full staffing with qualified instructors is required to maintain FAA
certification. The FAA does monitor staffing levels and instructor qualifications.
Please describe and prioritize any equipment, material, and supply needs.
An ARINC Buss 429 trainer is required to maintain AMT certification. This trainer meets the requirements of
the revised FAA curriculum. The cost of the trainer is $11480.00 Support of the donation of a Boeing 727
airliner or 737 airliner is needed to continue the offering of AMT courses that meet the needs of industry. An
extention to the current fence will be needed to protect the donated airliner.
Please describe and prioritize any facilities needs.
The 'A' building heating boiler needs to be replaced due to continued failures of supply adequate heat to the
facility.Smart boards are needed to update the classrooms.
