1. AVMT Fall 2020: 11 Students began the General Curriculum.
2. AVMT Spring 2021: 7 Students began the General Curriculum.
3. AVMT Summer 2021 Graduates: 9 Airframe Certificates
This assessment cycle began in the Summer of 2020. Due to COVID, Summer 2020 Airframe courses were cancelled then rescheduled for the following Summer 2021 term. Students affected by COVID restrictions graduated a term later as result. This delayed student completion of the Airframe certificate by a year. Due to the delay, the 9 eligible Airframe students did not test with the FAA in this cycle. Hybrid courses consisting of face to face lab sessions and online theory sessions was the mode of instruction. Online learning was a first for the Airframe courses due to COVID restrictions. |

Internal testing and online learning affected the number of students who passed the General Curriculum. The General courses are a prerequisite to the Airframe courses. The internal attrition problem was due to internal testing methods and online learning. 9 out of 11 Students passed the Airframe Curriculum. Due to the graduation delay, Airframe Graduates did not test with the FAA in this cycle. |
Part 5: Additional Action Plan in Support of Student Learning (If Appropriate)
| Upcoming Year | Changes Planned for the upcoming year | Data Motivating this change |
|---|---|---|
| 2021-2022 | Our program continues to discuss attrition rates. Online learning changed as a result. Brightspace training was offered to Faculty through the CARES program. More face to face classes are offered to retain students. | 2/11 ( 18%) Students passed the General Curriculum, Fall 2020.
4/7 (56%) Students passed the General Curriculum, Spring 2021.
|
| 2021-2022 | Our program needs to discuss internal testing methods again. Our department and administration identified testing as a contributing factor to the high attrition rates. The
FAA instructor’s handbook, FAA-H-8083-9A, provides examples for writing exams.
| 2/11 ( 18%) Students passed the General Curriculum, Fall 2020.
|
| 2021-2022 | Our program needs a formal process to discuss student feedback. CNM offers the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID) which provides a third-party method of gathering
student feedback. This method or one similar would be helpful in discussing methods for improving student learning. This can provide an objective standard to identify and
discuss best Instructional practices. | 2/11 ( 18%) Students passed the General Curriculum, Fall 2020.
4/7 (56%) Students passed the General Curriculum, Spring 2021. |
