Description

Students learn about composite materials and the different manufacturing processes of composite components. Students learn the basics of the materials and resins used in the components and how they work together to make a high strength, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and durable product. Materials used in the manufacturing of wind blades will be used and students will gain an understanding of repairing a wind turbine blade. A Certified Composites Technician Certificate will be issued to those completing the course and passing the American Composites Manufacturing Association’s tests with endorsements in Vacuum Infusion Process Manufacturing and Wind Blade Repair.
