Workforce Training Programs

This 24-hour, week-long course gives students a broad introduction to the world of advanced composites, with a focus on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy systems. This course is offered in a lecture/lab setting with a 30/70 split, respectively. Students will cover lecture topics such as basic measuring, layup notation, science, and math skills required to be a composite technician. In the lab, students will perform five hands-on lab projects covering the fabrication skills and techniques (including leak free vacuum bags!) needed to perform basic pre-impregnated layup and wet layup processes. Chemical and lab safety as well as foreign object debris (FOD) awareness is always practiced. These skills are essential to manufacturing composite parts in the aerospace field. Successful completion of this single-course program meets the requirements to earn the Composite Technician Onboarding Workforce Microcredential.
As a result of this training participants will be able to apply safety habits and prevent hazards in the workplace; fabricate a composite parts using tow-preg, wet-bath winding, and roll wrapping using shrink tape; read part travelers and follow operating procedures; apply industry vocabulary for advanced composite manufacturing; and evaluate scientific principles related to composite materials.
This 24hr program is taught over 3 consecutive 8hr days. As a result of this training, students will be able to create and test secondary, co-cure and co-bonds with proper surface preparation and various pressure applications; explain the compatibility of adhesives between metals, plastic, composites and core materials; demonstrate the application of PPE and power tools to trim and sand cured composite structures; and practice flat and curved layups using the pre-preg process.
This 24-hour, in person and online hybrid course gives students a broad introduction to the world of advanced composites, with a focus on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy systems. This course is offered in an online at home lecture/on campus in person lab setting with a 40/60 split, respectively. Students will cover lecture topics such as basic measuring, layup notation, science, and layup techniques required to be a composite technician. In the lab, students will perform 3 hands-on lab projects covering the fabrication skills and techniques (including leak free vacuum bags!) needed to perform basic vacuum infusion processes. Chemical and lab safety as well as foreign object debris (FOD) awareness is always practiced. These skills are essential to manufacturing composite parts in the aerospace field. Successful completion of this single-course program meets the requirements to earn the Infusion Composite Technician Workforce Microcredential.
