(SAE: Warrendale, PA) -- After more than 40 years of promise, the next decade will see an explosion in the use of composite materials. Aerospace and general aviation have been using the technology for years, and automotive and alternative energy markets are now on the cusp of broader implementation. Car manufacturers are already implementing and launching carbon-fiber composite development programs and working with both domestic and foreign producers of carbon fibers and composites.

SAE International’s new “Automotive Composites Technology Engineering Academy” will provide an overview of different composite materials such as carbon, glass, and natural fibers. The focus, however, will be on carbon fiber processes, typical applications, benefits, and shortcomings and limitations. Participants will become familiar with different composites terminology, quality issues, costs, and automotive market needs, and will gain a holistic understanding of automotive carbon-fiber applications.

The academy will run Oct. 22–26, 2012, 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m., at SAE International’s automotive headquarters in Troy, Michigan.
