Course Overview

A Composites Technician employed within a Composites Manufacturing environment will find themselves at the heart of cutting-edge technologies using state-of-the-art equipment and become a skilled resource that will be an enabler for manufacturing technologies, processes, and practices.

A Composites Technician is engaged in various processes in producing and creating materials and components used in multiple applications, including but not limited to: airplanes, cars, boats, turbine blades, oil & gas rigs, bridges, trains, and satellites. They provide specialized knowledge and skills that support manufacturing programs and projects. They may be deployed in design, tooling, molding, lay-up, curing, machining, inspection, testing, repair, and material production.
