  • 2.50 Credits

    Class hours: 2.0 Lecture/2.0 Laboratory This is a course in fiberglass/composites manufacturing technology. Areas of concentration include the processes and techniques of fiberglass composites as applied in industry. This course will place the student in production situations similar to those encountered in industry. The student may also have an opportunity to construct a project of his or her own with instructor approval.
  • 2.50 Credits

    Class hours: 2.0 Lecture/2.0 Laboratory This is a course directed toward the study of plastic materials used in processing areas. Proper selection and applications of various thermosetting and thermoplastics are studied. Testing of these materials is covered as specified in the ASTM Standards, including physical properties and chemical properties. Plastic material processing that is covered includes injection molding, compression molding and extrusion.
  • 2.50 Credits

    Class hours: 2.0 Lecture/2.0 Laboratory Recommendation: PMT 67 or equivalent with a grade of Pass or "C" or higher. This course is designed for students in the field of fiberglass/composites. Emphasis is on the lay-up, vacuum bagging, and cure processing of wet laminating techniques and preimpregnated materials. Also included are processes of resin transfer molding (RTM), filament winding, pultrusion, bonding, and fabrication of composite structures with honeycomb core materials. Laboratory experience will cover safety of handling resins, reinforcements, and related materials.

    Class hours: 2.0 Lecture/2.0 Laboratory This is a specialty course for the advanced plastics student or one employed in the plastics industry. Emphasis will be placed on development of independent problem solving in the student's major area of specialization.
  • 2.50 Credits

    Class hours: 2.0 Lecture/2.0 Laboratory Recommendation: PMT 61 or PMT 67 or PMT 70 or equivalent with a grade of Pass or "C" or higher. This course covers basic tooling concepts and materials for making various plastic composite molds. These include laminated, cast and high temperature plastic tools as well as plaster tooling. Design recommendations, physical properties data, repair procedures and techniques will be discussed.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Class hours: 1.0 Lecture/1.0 Laboratory This course is designed for individuals in the field of fiberglass/composites, tooling and production. This class includes lecture/demonstration with "hands-on" Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) moldmaking and production techniques. Emphasis is on converting parts currently being made by the hand lay-up method to the closed mold RTM process is covered. Topics include safe RTM equipment operation, mold design, fabrication, resin and catalyst selection, reinforcements, and core materials. Production methods leading to high output and troubleshooting techniques are discussed.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Class hours: 3.0 Lecture/1.0 Laboratory This course is designed for individuals in the field of Fiberglass/Composites, Tooling, and Production. It includes lecture/demonstration with Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP) moldmaking and production techniques. Emphasis on converting parts currently being made by the hand lay-up method to the closed mold RTM and VIP process are covered. Topics include safe RTM and VIP equipment operation, mold design, fabrication, resin and catalyst selection, reinforcements, and core materials. Production methods leading to high output and troubleshooting techniques are discussed.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Class hours: 3.0 Independent Study A course to provide opportunity for individual research and field projects under the direction of a faculty member in a given department. With the guidance of the faculty member, students prepare and carry out a written learning agreement describing the purposes and outcomes of the project. Students should expect to meet with the supervising faculty member one to two hours each week for conferences. Credit is based upon the number of hours in the semester expected to complete the project (1 unit for 54 hours, 2 units for 108 hours). This course may be taken a maximum of 2 times.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Class hours: 6.0 Independent Study A course to provide opportunity for individual research and field projects under the direction of a faculty member in a given department. With the guidance of the faculty member, students prepare and carry out a written learning agreement describing the purposes and outcomes of the project. Students should expect to meet with the supervising faculty member one to two hours each week for conferences. Credit is based upon the number of hours in the semester expected to complete the project (1 unit for 54 hours, 2 units for 108 hours). This course may be taken a maximum of 2 times.
