• Vacuum infusion processing
• Filament winding
• Roll wrapping
• Bladder molding
• Curing with a hot bonder
• Thermoplastics

During the class, the basic nature of composites and the most common materials that are used will be explained. There will also be a discussion on the advantages composites bring compared to other structural materials, and a non-technical overview on how composites are designed and manufactured. UAMMI organizers say the most common products made from composites will be discussed and why this material was applied.

Students should be able to converse easily about composites using the correct terms and also be able to understand the basic concepts of engineering that are used to design and manufacture composite parts. Students will gain an understanding of the various composite materials available and their advantages and disadvantages. 

While the class is currently in-person only, there is potential for it be available online, depending on registration numbers.
