AR02-02-01 (Admission Requirements)
Statewide admission
requirements are implemented for the Aircraft Structural Technology, Diploma
program.
Admission
refers to regular admission into a diploma program.
Statewide
program admission requirements consider state and national occupational
licensing and certifying requirements, where applicable. The institution
develops and implements clearly stated diploma program admissions policies and
procedures.
Admission
requirements are related to the functions of the Aircraft Structural
Technology profession.
The
institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated Aircraft
Structural Technology, Diploma program admission and advanced placement policies and procedures.
The
requirements for admission to the Aircraft Structural Technology, Diploma program are:
a.
attainment of 16 years of age;
b.
achievement of minimum regular
admission scores on tests of reading, language, and math as specified in GDTAE
document Minimum Program Entrance Scores;
and
c. completion of

regular admission and good standing
at a regionally accredited diploma or degree granting institution; and
b. proper completion of application and related procedures.
Standard Number: AR02-02-04 (Provisional Admission Requirements)
Statewide
provisional admission requirements are implemented for the Aircraft
Structural Technology, Diploma program.
Provisional
admission is granted to qualified students who do not meet the regular
admission requirements of the program.
Provisionally
admitted students are allowed to take developmental studies courses and/or
certain occupational courses as designated in the course sequence standard.
The
institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated policies and
procedures for entry into programs on a provisional basis.
Provisional
admission to the Aircraft Structural Technology, Diploma program is afforded those students
who do not meet program requirements but do meet provisional admission
requirements.
The
requirements for provisional admission to the Aircraft Structural
Technology, Diploma program are:
a.
attainment of 16 years of age;
b.

meet regular program admission requirements are required to enroll in
developmental studies courses approved by the State Board of Technical and
Adult Education.
Standard Number: AR02-03-02 (Program Numbering System)
A Major
Code of AR02 and a CIP
Code of 47.0607 are applied to the Aircraft Structural Technology, Diploma program.
Assignment
of a statewide Major Code AR02 and CIP Code 47.0607 to the diploma program is the basis
from which statewide programmatic consistency is developed.
Each
degree/diploma/certificate program complies with the assigned Major Code(s)

Degree/diploma/certificate
programs having multiple specializations are assigned a specialization Major
Code for each option.
Standard Number: AR02-03-03 (Program Consistency and Sequence)
The Aircraft
Structural Technology, Diploma program utilizes essential course
components consistent with statewide program requirements. Specific course alphanumeric identification
Codes are assigned to each course. Students
are required to progress through two course categories in a developmentally
valid sequence.
Programs
are assigned an identical Major Code AR02 and are consistent statewide. Each specific course is assigned an
alphanumeric descriptor that serves as a statewide course identification code.
The Aircraft
Structural Technology, Diploma program is assigned a Major Code of
AR02, and
utilizes essential components designated for that program number
statewide. Program components include,
but are not limited to:
Aircraft Structural Technology, Diploma
The
Aircraft Structural Technology program is a sequence of courses that prepares
students for careers in aircraft structures manufacture and repair. Learning opportunities develop academic,
technical, and professional knowledge and skills required for job acquisition,
retention, and advancement. The program
emphasizes a combination of aircraft structural theory and practical application
necessary for successful employment.
Program graduates receive an Aircraft Structural Technology diploma and
are qualified as aircraft structural specialists.
