Composite Manufacturing Certificate

This certificate program provides a “well-rounded” education to prospective engineers and technicians who are interested in composite materials, its manufacturing process and application. Students will be introduced to the analysis of composite materials along with hands-on experience in composite manufacturing. Students will also be introduced to mold fabrication and adhesive bonding of composite and metals which is an integral part of composite manufacturing. Finally, students will be exposed to the most common and latest Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) equipment, methods and techniques used in the field of composite inspection.

The educational goals of this certificate are to provide students with:

• A strong foundation in in composite materials their manufacturing processes and application.
• The technical knowledge and skills in analysis of composite materials along with hands on experience in composite manufacturing and the ability to apply these approaches for use in a given practical situation.
• Introduce students to mold fabrication and adhesive bonding of composite and metals as well as learning various types of Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) methods and techniques which is an integral part of composite manufacturing.
