2025 Intro to Smart Manufacturing
When: April 11
Where: Wichtia, KS
NIAR's Intro to Smart Manufacturing is back! Join us on the campus of 凯撒皇宫棋牌 University Friday, April 11 for a half day of industry-focused smart manufacturing education geared toward small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses.
Composite Structural Engineering Technology (CSET) Course
When: CSET-B: April 21 - June 1
Where: Wichita, KS
This course covers the essential topics pertaining to composites engineering and the certification process. Its contents provide students with an awareness of the composites engineering process framework through course materials and practical applications through online discussions. Topics include engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and certification of composite materials associated with civil aircraft structures.
Hidden Science in Engineering Materials
When: April 24
Where: Woolsey Hall, 凯撒皇宫棋牌
The Sun shines, planets move, and plants grow. These natural phenomena are better understood after the scientific discoveries of nuclear fusion, Newton mechanics, and Calvin cycle. How about human-invented applied materials? Progress in the recently advanced nanotechnology tends to have science leading material synthesis. In contrast, however, most standard engineering materials for large-scale applications are developed empirically, then modified and improved with experience through usage data. They serve well their designated purposes. But, if possible, shouldn鈥檛 we try to bring in some scientific insights, which may be beneficial to further material development or evaluation?
Introductory Additive Manufacturing Certificate Program
When: May 8-9
Where: Wichita, KS
- Covers the introductory topics pertaining to the background, applications, materials, processes, and benefits of Additive Manufacturing (AM).
- Provides basic level information of additive manufacturing workflows, terminology, standards, and the computer-aided design (CAD) skills required to create a simple 3D part.
- Get a first-hand experience on how to print a part on a prosumer grade Prusa 3D printer by incorporating the 3D printing workflow which comprises of modeling, STL file generation, slicing, printing, and post-processing.
Composites Hands-On Training
When: June 24-27
Where: Wichita, KS
This introductory course is designed for a wide range of audiences including technicians, engineers, analysts, and inspectors to gain hands-on experience in advanced composite material manufacturing, adhesive bonding, damage surveys, non-destructive inspection techniques, repair techniques, and mechanical testing.
