The new generation of advanced composites, high-temperature ceramics and light metals are transforming the aerospace industry. This materials evolution has resulted in accelerated developments in both design practice methodologies and process development. In addition, novel automated processing methods, the greater use of Integrated Product Development Teams (IPDT), and the so-called Industry 4.0 transition are being incorporated to reduce risk and cost, shorten production cycle times, and improve quality. These topics require specialized training to better prepare aerospace engineering students for dynamic careers in this industry and increase their understanding of the complexities associated with the latest generation of high-performance materials, advanced composites in particular. This course track aims to train the next generation of aerospace engineers and enable them to provide leadership in all levels of technology readiness involving advanced materials. Through this track, students will be transitioned into well-rounded and practice-minded engineers, fully capable of innovatively addressing the challenges of advanced materials in industry.
