Introduction
Train for engineering technician jobs specializing in composites manufacturing. Classes introduce students to materials science, composite materials, and engineering design. Gain experience in the hands-on state-of-the-art labs. Job titles of our graduates include test technician, materials technician, composites technician, MDR technician, quality assurance and more. Students who complete the 15 credit composites Certificate of Completion are eligible to apply for Boeing's Blue Streak Mechanic, Composite Manufacturing Technician or Tooling Inspector Apprenticeship programs. Learn more at: Boeing IAM Apprenticeships.
Why consider the Associate in Applied Science-T degree in Materials Science
By taking the technical courses required for a job in the field with the option to pursue a bachelor's degree, a student can both prepare themselves to go to work and transfer to a bachelor of science degree at specific schools. Those who already hold a bachelor's degree but wish to learn the field of composites may also find that this program will meet their needs. This degree will prepare you for the new Bachelor of Applied Science in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Engineering Technology (AMMET) degree.
