Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) April 26, 2012
Utah company promoting the relevant process engineering (SAMP) held a national contest a bridge to Salt Lake Community College composite laboratory on April 11, 2012th Advanced composites training for students from Salt Lake Community College Article SLCC), Davis Applied Technology College and the University of Utah, BYU entered the competition to demonstrate their skills in the industry, experts, guests and staff, and competed for prizes up to $ 200.00?.?
Twenty-seven students attended
competition. Eligible participants were required to build this bridge was less than four inches, four inches wide, 26 inches and lighter than 650 grams. Using the Instron college, test that measures strengthstudents bridges tested. Kevin Wagner, a student at BYU in the first place in competition with the axle weight was 9497 pounds before bowing or breakage.
Additional materials such as carbon fiber and other composite materials, which radically industrieseverything variety of Aerospace Engineering and construction equipment vehicles, golf skiing and cycling. Like other products in the past were made of a metal wood, steel or composite are converted, companies and facilities in Utah such as Exel (ITT) and Janicki Industries, ATC, and Boeing is a growing need for qualified composites technicians.
to meet the growth in Utah and career paths open, colleges, industry experts and professional associations are working together to find ways to educate the public about career opportunities for training in advanced materials processing industry.
Lenni
dough Chairman SAMP plan competition is already planning next year the bridge. Dough hopes that students teams consisting of two or more schools in Cross pollination schools will provide students with both technical / practical programs and plans and theoretical / engineering a cooperating. with each other to form a bridge? .
Emily Johnson composite technical training SLCCs spent more than 15 years in the medical field before entering the composite program. But the program, Johnson learned to use multiple machines, tools and equipment for the production of complex products. One of two women in her sample, Johnson praised the benefits of programs for women. Its a great career women, because it requires a lot of manual dexterity, said Ms Joan Chairman SAMP education. We have some women go through the program and they are very good at it!
SLCC
composite technology training program offers three levels of approval can be completed within a short period of 10 weeks. As the industry’s key growing state of Utah, graduates have a large pool of companies, particularly in the aerospace industry and other products.
I really appreciate the training. I was laid off in January, and I really want to improve their skills in the labor market. Now I’m in a situation in deciding what role I want to take, Barnett said Swanson, a student training in composite technology SLCC.
Students
these programs are trained to be composite technician, but as the industry grows, I see they can do more, said Ms. I see them as leaders and for the future.
the composite SLCC Salt Lake Community Training Center is a complex composite technology specialist training and education. Conveniently located in the heart of Salt Lake Valley, Composite Technology Training Center lab equipped state-of-the-art. The program provides a common format of classroom instruction with hands-on projects, providing students with the skills to create knowledge, treatment and recycling of composite materials.
the SAMP: Society of Utah, to promote the material and process engineers, professional member of the International Association, provides information on new materials and processing technology or technical forums, journal publications, or books in which professionals in this field can exchange ideas air their views . Just as a technical cover all areas of endeavor in materials and processes, SAMP provides a unique and valuable for scientists, engineers, and academics.
