Registration open for Composite Structural Engineering Technology (CSET) online courses

Dates: CSET-A: March 10 - April 20  / CSET-B: April 21 - June 1
Optional Hands-on Lab: TBD
Cost: $900 / module

This course covers the essential topics pertaining to composites engineering and the certification process. Its contents provide students with an awareness of the composites engineering process framework through course materials and practical applications through online discussions.

Course Objective: Students will describe engineering principles for substantiating composite airframe structures during all stages of aircraft product certification.

Who Should Attend?

• Professionals responsible for the engineering of composites.
• Individuals having a general background in composites and/or engineering technology.
• Civil aviation regulatory authorities and industry designees who participate in the certification of composite structures.

Prerequisite: Students will review summary reading material on basic composite technology during the first week of the online class, followed by an assessment to measure students understanding of prerequisite content. After successfully completing the online assessment, students are given access to the CSET course.

Course Topics

• Composite Applications
• Material, Processing, and Fabrication Development
• Design Development
• Structural Substantiation
• Manufacturing and Maintenance Interface
• Additional Topics: Flutter, Crashworthiness, Fire Safety and Lightning Protection
