COMP 115 10 Credits
COMPOSITE STRUCTURES-FABRICATION
First course in a series intended to provide the student
with a working knowledge of reinforced composite design,
fabrication, structural repair, and finishing. Introduces design
considerations and methods of fabrication used in open-mold
construction. Employability is a major goal, therefore issues
such as safety and work habits are emphasized throughout.
Prerequisite: MATH 064 or equivalent.
COMP 115A 3 Credits
ENTRY LEVEL COMPOSITES TRAINING - MODULE 1
This five-week course serves as an introduction to composite
manufacturing. Instruction focuses on aerospace applications
and advance composites materials. Students will become
familiar with relevant terminology and industry manufacturing
practices. These practices include pre-preg composite
construction, vacuum bag processing, oven-curing, and
industrial safety. Prerequisites COMP 101
COMP 115B 3 Credits
ENTRY LEVEL COMPOSITES TRAINING - MODULE 2
This five-week course serves as an introduction to composite
manufacturing. Instruction focuses on aerospace, marine,
and recreation equipment applications. Students will become
familiar with relevant terminology and industry manufacturing
practices. These practices include wet lay-up composite
construction, vacuum bag processing, vacuum infusion
processing, room temperature curing, and industrial safety.
Prerequisite: COMP 101.
COMP 115C 4 Credits
ENTRY LEVEL COMPOSITES TRAINING - MODULE 3
This six-week course serves as an introduction to machining
in composite manufacturing. Instruction focuses on CNC
(computer numerical control) operation and CNC machining
(cutting) of composite materials. Students will become
familiar with relevant terminology and industry manufacturing
practices. These practices include CNC equipment operation,
CNC software application, CNC tooling, and machine safety.
Prerequisite: COMP 101.
COMP 116 10 Credits
COMPOSITE STRUCTURES REPAIR
This course is intended to provide the student with a working
knowledge of fiberglass composite repair and fabrication.
The goal is to prepare for entry-level employment in
industries utilizing composite materials in fabrication or repair.
Prerequisite: COMP 115 or instructor permission.
COMP 117 10 Credits
COMPOSITE COATING SYSTEMS
Continues and builds on skills learned in COMP 115 and
COMP 116 and extends them to provide a working knowledge
of fiberglass composite finishing materials and techniques.
The course goal is to prepare one for above entry-level
employment in industries utilizing composite materials in
fabrication or repair. Prerequisite: COMP 116 or instructor
permission.
COMP 215 11 Credit
ADVANCED COMPOSITIES TECHNOLOGY I
This course is a combination of classroom and laboratory
experience. Introduction will include a brief history of
composites. Emphasis will be placed on composite
terminology, adherence to laboratory safety rules, and strict
conformance to directions. While this course is intended to
form the foundation for advanced composite courses, it will
have direct ties to industry required skills. Prerequisites: None
COMP 216 11 Credit
ADVANCED COMPOSITIES TECHNOLOGY II
This course is a combination of classroom and laboratory
experience. It builds on the skills learned in COMP 215.
Advanced terminology will be included in a course long project
that will demonstrate industry work environment and quality
standards. Prerequisite: COMP 215 or instructor permission
COMP 217 11 Credit
ADVANCED COMPOSITIES TECHNOLOGY III
This course is a combination of classroom and laboratory
experience. Introduction will include a brief history of
composites. Emphasis will be on composite terminology,
adherence to laboratory safety rule, and strict conformance to
directions. While this course is intended to form the foundation
for advanced composite courses, it will have direct ties to
industry-required skills. Prerequisites: COMP 216 and PHYS&
121L or instructor permission.
