We are excited about this year's Kansas School Nurse Conference which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Wichita. Conference sessions will focus on our theme "School Nursing: Refocusing our Vision for the Future."

This year, the conference celebrates its 30th anniversary, traditionally marked by the pearl. Several celebratory and honorary observances are planned, and you'll be able to share your own school nursing "pearls of wisdom." We will have several special keynote speakers and more than 26 unique sessions for you to attend, with a strong focus on Kansas' new vision screening guidelines. Several sessions will be repeated throughout the conference so there is wider opportunity for attendance.

This course covers the essential topics pertaining to composites engineering and the certification process. Its contents provide students with an awareness of the composites engineering process framework through course materials and practical applications through online discussions. Topics include engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and certification of composite materials associated with civil aircraft structures. The course content is in accordance with FAA AC 20-107B (Composite Aircraft Structure). 

This course was developed through the collaboration of Wichita State University, industry subject matter experts, and the Federal Aviation Administration. The course is taught online, includes all teaching materials, and features real-world discussions facilitated by those with subject matter expertise and FAA representatives. Depending on prior knowledge and experience, students will spend approximately ten hours per week reviewing materials, participating in online discussions and testing their knowledge.

After finishing a 1-week period of self-study of fundamental composites and successfully completing an examination, students proceed to more advanced topics through an on-line, interactive learning experience via Blackboard. Teaching methodology includes online discussions facilitated by subject matter experts, relevant documentation, and audio/visual aids. A hands-on lab will be offered separately at future times.
