18 Week & 1st 9 Week "Short Courses begin January 11, 2010

2nd 9 Week "Short Course" begins March 15, 2010

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 the instructor approval.

FIBERGLASS LAB PMT 63L – .5 UNITS (9-Weeks)

This is a lab course to complement other courses in the plastic/composite curriculum. It is designed to give practical experience in working with plastics.
