Abstract

Funds are provided to support the development, operation, and support of an industry-relevant, manufacturing-focused, engineering training program.This is a strong proposal with an exclusive focus on composites manufacturing. The proposed effort is lead by IACMI, a Manufacturing USA Institute, and includes seven contractors and/or sub-contractors who will provide a diverse platform, and significant outreach, for the proposed program. The proposed project has a very focused goal, scaling an existing programme at Davis Technical College Composites for technician training to achieve national reach. Technical POC: Dr. William M.
