An overview of the construction methods, understanding how to inspect components for damage, and procedures to perform the actual repair used in industry today. Students develop an understanding of how to design/source industrial composite fasteners and install into the composite structure and the science of coatings for the protection of both the composite materials as well as metallic components adjacent to composites.
