The Composites program is a hands-on, in-depth overview of the processes involved in the development and production of composite products. Skills include tooling, fabrication, machining, assembly, quality assurance, repair, lay-up, vacuum bagging, and cure processing of wet laminating. The first level, for students seeking entry into the technical world would be the Manufacturing Pre-Employment Certificate, a credential that would allow one to work in entry-level manufacturing. Everett Community College offers a two-year degree as well as a certificate of proficiency that can be completed in two quarters. Both are designed to prepare students for immediate employment in the manufacturing industry.

The knowledge and skills gained through this program are required for entry-level positions as composite technicians. Some of the careers where composite technical skills can be applied include repair technician, fabricator and parts designer. Composites can be applied in many other fields beyond aerospace, including transportation, sports, sporting goods, medical and power generation. To prepare students for these careers, the curriculum was designed to meet these program outcomes: Solve technical mathematical problems (such as fiber resin ratio) Learn basic hand skills for the layup of composites materials using fiberglass, carbon fiber, epoxy and polyester resin Design molds and forms for the layup of fiberglass and carbon fiber materials Build and vacuum bag composite materials for room temperature cure and oven cure materials Create projects in composite materials showing how surface energy is increased and decreased Design for producibility and manufacturing ease Document technical activities in written and verbal reports Be prepared for successful employment.
