CMP 120 Composite Repair
In Part 1 of this course, students will learn basic composite repair methods. Students will cover repair assessment, types of damage and repair, and replacing damaged composite materials. Students will then demonstrate their competency by repairing some of their previously built composite parts.
Part 2 of this course will cover the various core materials used in the composite industry. Students will learn to identify these materials, their uses, and applications, as well as demonstrate proficiency by constructing several core structures.
Students in Part 3 of this course will cover repair procedures specific to advanced composites. Students will learn how to repair composite parts similar to those found in the aerospace industry. Students will then demonstrate proper structural repairs on parts previously built in other courses.
In Part 4 the steps necessary to produce a finished Composites part ready for final assembly will be explained. Students will explore surface preparation, sanding techniques, and priming and painting Composites parts. Students will demonstrate competency in composites part finish by applying acquired skills to completely finish their previously constructed parts.
