4/11/2015 Baton Rouge Community College Academic Affairs Master Syllabus Date Approved or Revised: Course Name: 13 April 2015 General Maintenance Practices BRCC Course Rubric: AMTG 101 CIP Code: 47.0608 Lecture Hours: 2 (30) State Common Course Rubric: Lab Hours: 4 (180) Credit Hours: 6 (210) Course Description: Introduces students to mathematics, basic physics, aircraft drawings, fluid lines and fittings, and materials and processes. This course covers General Curriculum Subjects from Appendix B to Part 147 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) in Title 14 of the Code of the Federal Register (14 CFR), for Aviation Maintenance schools. This course requires a lab fee. Prerequisites: Eligibility for college-level Mathematics and Eligibility for ENGL 101 Co-requisites: AMTP 101 Suggested Enrollment Cap: 25 Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate required mathematic competencies covered in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Appendix B to part 147, General Curriculum Subjects (H), numbers 24-27 for roots, exponents, areas and volumes of geometric shapes, ratio/proportion/percentage problems, and algebraic operations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of positive and negative numbers. 2. Demonstrate required basic physics competencies covered in FAR Appendix B to part 147, General Curriculum Subjects (J), number 30, for principles of simple machines: sound, fluid, and heat dynamics: basic aerodynamics: aircraft structures: and theory of flight. 3. Demonstrate required aircraft drawing competencies covered in FAR Appendix B to part 147, General Curriculum Subjects (B), numbers 7-10, including symbols and system schematics, sketches of repairs and alterations, and use of blueprint information, graphs, and charts. 4. Demonstrate required fluid lines and fittings competencies covered in FAR Appendix B to part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (D), number 13, for the fabrication and installation of rigid and flexible fluid lines and fittings. 5. Demonstrate required materials and processes competencies covered in FAR Appendix B to part 147 General Curriculum Subjects (E), numbers 14-19, for non-destructive testing methods, inspections (dye penetrant, eddy current, ultrasonic and magnetic particle), heattreating processes, aircraft hardware and materials, inspection and checking of welds, and the performance of precise measurements. 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. Expanded Course Outline: I: Mathematics and Physics A. Fractions B.
