"Composite Materials Engineering" Educational Program involves creating "supermaterials" that defy the laws of nature. Today, a composite engineer is a Composite Architect who combines the uncombinable to achieve the strength of steel at the weight of a feather. The objects of our students' activity include carbon-fiber aircraft fuselages, next-generation Kevlar protection, ultra-lightweight Formula 1 car frames, and graphene structures that change the rules of the game in the aerospace and defense industries.
The goal of training is to mold you into a "properties designer" capable of designing hybrid structures for the most extreme conditions. We will teach you vacuum infusion technologies, nano-reinforcement methods, and computer simulation of internal stresses in laminated plastics. It is a perfect balance between high chemistry, applied physics, and cutting-edge engineering. You will learn to create "smart" composites that sense loads and adapt to them, becoming the creator of the material foundation for the fourth industrial revolution.
Your superpower: In a world where every gram of weight costs thousands of dollars (as in rocket science), you will possess Material Synergy and Structural Integrity—skills in creating the most efficient structures on the planet. Your professional stack will include:
- Advanced Polymer Engineering: developing polymer matrices with specified thermal resistance and elasticity.
- Automated Fiber Placement (AFP): programming robots to lay up composite fibers into complex aircraft parts.
- Nondestructive Testing (NDT): mastering ultrasonic and X-ray "vision" to detect internal defects without destroying the product.
- Eco-Composites & Recycling: designing biodegradable and recyclable composites that save the planet's ecology.
Our graduates are key design engineers in aircraft manufacturing (Antonov, Boeing, Airbus), developers of world-class sports equipment, armor protection specialists, and leading experts in wind turbine production, where the ability to create light, strong, and enduring solutions is highly valued.
Objects of activity for bachelors include technological processes for manufacturing products from polymer, metallic, and ceramic composites; mechanical property testing methods, as well as mathematical modeling of heterogeneous media and tooling design for additive manufacturing of composites.
