Background
The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM has offered training courses in fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) since 2007. The new modular Composite Engineer course brings together the expertise of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Fraunhofer Lightweight Design Alliance in the area of fiber reinforced plastics. The course participants are trained on particular topics by scientists and engineers who are engaged in current, cutting-edge R&D work. This guarantees direct transfer of key knowledge and technology to industry.
