SKILLS

Design molds using CAD software. Use CAD software to do finite element analysis and verify others Oversee and consult on manufacturable composite parts. Report and document the engineering process. Determine which materials to use and how to use them safely. Utilizing CAD software, conduct finite element analysis, oversee manufacturable composite parts, report engineering processes, determine materials and safety protocols, ensuring team members grasp material usage, manufacturing techniques, inter-team communication, and project management.

NEW MEMBERS

Joining the composites team offers more than mold-making; biweekly classes delve into composite theory, supplemented by hands-on lab sessions for practical experience in layups and techniques.
