INTRODUCTION The report is divided into four major sections. The Background outlines the need for pursuing this research to implement and evaluate portions of the integrated Aviation Maintenance Technician Transport (AMT-T) curriculum while the second section describes the revised curriculum development effort and the third develops the methodology and assessment tools used in conducting the evaluation. Finally, the conclusion outlines the implications of this study for the evaluation of the use of advanced technology in implementing the curriculum and enhancing the learning experience. This project is managed by the Aircraft Maintenance Technician Program at Greenville Technical College and conducted in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University (CU). Other partners actively involved in this research include Lockheed Martin Aircraft Center (LMAC) and Stevens Aviation. Moreover, the research also directly supports undergraduate and graduate students. The findings of this research were disseminated in the following publications: Arnold, D. and Gramopadhye, A.
