International Internships

CCM offers self-supported international students the opportunity to work in the University’s Composites Manufacturing Science Laboratory as members of multidisciplinary teams, addressing real problems on a variety of research topics, for a minimum duration of six months.

The research internship complements the theory of academic coursework with the practice of the laboratory and often paves the way for internships with industry, co-authoring of papers, and the opportunity for students to present their research at our annual Research Symposium in August.

Research areas, include:

• Mechanical Testing
• Coupon & Sub-Element Characterization
• Full-Scale High-Energy 37 kJ Drop Tower
• Materials Development
  • Fiber, Resin & Interface Evaluation
  • Chemical characterization cure behavior, dynamic properties
• Process Development
  • Prepreg Line
  • Automated Manufacturing
  • Autoclave, Liquid Molding
  • Tape Placement, Filament Winding
  • Pultrusion, Additive
• Design, Analysis, & Processing Modeling for Product Development

Interested applicants submit resume to Dr. Dirk Heider.
