All students who successfully complete this course will be awarded 0.5 graduate credit hours. A one-time $10 application fee is required if you have not previously enrolled at Wichita State University.
Wichita State University is offering a two-day combined lab course twice yearly, designed specifically for students who have taken or are enrolled in the Composite Manfuacturing Technology (CMfgT) Badges or the Composite Structural Engineering Technology (CSET) courses.
About the Lab
The CMfgT Hands-on Lab provides students with hands-on experiences in prepreg cutting, manual layup and bagging of simple laminated composite parts, non-destructive inspection and scarf repair. The hands-on lab is strongly recommended for individuals who attend CSET or CMfgT courses.
Learning Outcomes and Objectives
Learning Outcomes and Objectives
- To conduct the layup and bagging of laminate and sandwich parts
