Why this program?

This program offers an ideal combination of theoretical understanding and practical approach to the world of composite materials. Beginning with the fundamentals of composites—materials formed by combining two or more elements with unique physical or chemical properties—we will guide you through advanced techniques, including oxidation, carbonization, graphitization, treatment, and alignment. You’ll explore real-world applications, such as how Pre-preg Carbon Fiber monocoques enable lighter, stronger, and more aerodynamic Formula 1 cars. By the end of the program, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to harness the full potential of composite materials, opening doors to innovative design solutions in industries ranging from aerospace to automotive.

Really good to begin

Jorge Valcárcel Bizarro

It's a good course to obtain relevant information about composites having some prior knowledge already. I hope there will be a more advanced second part soon.
