The role of the Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) is to work as a recognized member (Airframe & Power Plant) within the broad aspect of the aviation field in a variety of venues and under the supervision of an AMT with an Inspection Authorization or lead technician. Del Mar College strives to provide the best AM education in South Texas, and in doing so, seeks the most qualified applicants for its program.
Admission requirements and processes are set to provide the greatest possibility of success for students chosen for this program. Applicants are advised that this program uses the DMC Aviation Technology Advisory Board to determine the outcome of the competitive selection process based on the information proved in the application packet submitted to the AM director.
The Practicum (Field Experience) course is evaluated as pass (satisfactory) or fail (unsatisfactory). AERM 2264 Practicum is taken concurrently with AM theory courses and must be repeated if accompanying theory courses are not successful.
Opportunities for advanced placement either by tests or by evaluation of credentials are offered to persons experienced in the aviation field based upon the FAA approved Operations Manual. For more information, students should visit www.delmar.edu/stap.
