Edmonds Community College – Composites Technician Certificate
72 Hours (4.5 Credits)
Edmonds Community College offers customized training in the area of composites to develop or upgrade industry workforce skills.
The Composites Technician Certificate prepares aerospace workers for advanced coursework in the area of fiber-reinforced composites. The certificate is geared toward technicians with a metalworking background who are transitioning to working with composites in a manufacturing and/or repair environment. The course is delivered through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs.
Upon completion of the certificate program individuals will be able to:
- Demonstrate a foundational understanding of composites.
- Identify common composite materials, their properties and environmental effects.
- Know a variety of methods used to fabricate and manufacture fiber-reinforced composites.
- Know the advantages and disadvantages of different processes, tooling considerations, and safety.
- Understand composite repair.
- Demonstrate several basic types of composite repair such as surface, potted, taper sanded and bolted.
Critical Composite Awareness Classes -FAA
This online course will provide an AWARENESS of safety issues regarding the maintenance and repair of composite materials used in aerospace. While you gain a competitive advantage over firms in your industry.
Critical Composite Awareness Maintenance and Repair - Lab
Apply the skills you've learned in the above course with this hands-on lab.
This Associate in Applied Science-(AAST) in Aerospace Manufacturing is a professional technical degree with a core of general education courses commonly accepted in transfer. It is designed to prepare graduates to enter into the aerospace manufacturing industry or to prepare students who wish to transfer to other colleges or universities having specific bachelor's degree programs that accept the AAST degree.
Gives the skills necessary for graduates to enter the materials and composites industries as an entry-level engineering/manufacturing technician or to transfer to select four-year engineering technology programs.
Having workers ready with materials science knowledge is key to economic stability and growth because of their importance to employers in many manufacturing industries.
Local interest in materials science training is particularly strong. The Puget Sound Region has a high concentration of manufacturing companies due to its diverse industrial bases.
A number of local industry leaders support the college program, including representatives from The Boeing Co., its suppliers and prosthetic, ski and boat manufacturers, and manufacturers of everyday consumer products, such as Starbucks.
Engineer your first step to a four-year degree at Edmonds Community College
Engineers Make a Difference.
Engineering is the art of applying scientific and mathematical principles, experience, judgment, and common sense to make things that benefit people. Engineers solve problems. They improve and develop products to meet consumer and societal needs. They find ways for existing products to work better, last longer, operate more safely and cost less.
They also look for innovative solutions to global problems. Engineers design bridges and important medical equipment as well as processes for cleaning up toxic spills and systems for mass transit.
The Associate of Science degree, Track 1 or 2, is designed to prepare science majors for transfer to a four-year college with junior standing with at least 90 credits (60 semester credits). Most coursework is in specified mathematics and sciences requirements, but also includes general requirements, and distribution requirements in humanities, social sciences and health or physical education as outlined on the Associate of Science program requirement sheet. This degree will satisfy some, but not all, of the general requirements at the receiving four-year college or university. Students should work with an adviser in science, computer science or engineering to review specific requirements. .jpg)
Track 1:
Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology, and Earth Sciences
Track 2:
Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences
Bioengineering, Chemical Pre-Engineering
Computer and Electrical Pre-Engineering
Mechanical, Civil, Aeronautical, Industrial, Materials Science Pre-Engineering
This is a professional/technical degree with a core of general education courses that are commonly accepted for transfer to a four-year institution. The Associate in Applied Science-T prepares graduates for jobs requiring two-year training or who plan to transfer to four-year schools with specific bachelor's programs that accept this degree. Students seeking to transfer to degree programs other than those specifically designed for this degree should consider the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degrees. The degree is awarded upon completion of a minimum of 90 credits of general requirements, and technical electives as outlined on the program requirement sheet.
Everett Community College
Everett Community College offers a new program in Advanced Manufacturing Technology for prospective students seeking entry into or career advancement in the advanced manufacturing sector of the job market.
This program is actually a cluster of programs designed to prepare students for careers in areas such as aviation maintenance, computer controlled machining, welding and fabrication, composites design/repair, CAD based design technology, or a position coordinating all these activities.
35 Years of Quality Aviation Education 
Located at Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field), just south of Everett, Washington, Everett Community College's Aviation Department is located in the heart of the Puget Sound Aviation and Technology Corridor. Our facility houses over 48,000 square feet of training space.
Our 8 quarter curriculum consists of 2,040 hours of instruction in over 40 subject areas with work being done on a variety of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Students learn to maintain both reciprocating and turbine engines, repairing systems and components. 60% of the students learning time is spent in a laboratory environment.
Degree programs are available for students who desire to combine their technical training with academic classes.
We work in partnership with industry through our advisory committee, the government through the FAA and other aviation programs throughout the country to continuously improve our programs.
The precision machinist works very much like a sculptor by removing material from a solid block of material to create something of greater value. The sculptor typical creates great works of art, whereas the machinist typically creates something more utilitarian, to be used in a manufactured product. While the sculptor might use a hammer and chisel, the precision machinist uses very sophisticated machines like milling machines, planers, routers and so on. Furthermore, complex computer programs devised by the machinist might be used to operate these machines.
The precision machining program at Everett Community College offers classes for people seeking careers such as machinist, tool maker, quality control technician, CNC computer programmer, or, perhaps, manufacturing business owner. These careers are for people who like to make things and who like precision.
The Welding Program at Everett Community College offers a wide variety of classes to meet the needs of students whose goals range from those seeking employment in the Metal Trades Industry to the home hobbyist. Classes are offered both days and evenings.
We teach all major welding and cutting processes, including: SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, FCAW-S, GTAW, OAC, PAC; welding on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum; hand and machine torch cutting; and field welding techniques. Extensive classes in Blueprint Reading, Layout and Metallurgy are offered.
The emphasis in the Welding Program is not only on welding skills, but also on fabrication techniques, which is a unique feature of the EVCC program. This series of classes includes Heavy Plate Fabrication, Sheetmetal Fabrication, Pipefitting and Pipe systems Fabrication, Structural Steel Fabrication, and Field-Welding techniques.
