New Course of Studies in Composites and Adaptronics

Abstract

Future markets for CFRP structures are characterised by high potential for growth in main industrial sec-tors such as aviation, automotive as well as machine and plant construction. One success criterion for the realisation of innovative CFRP structures is the availability of highly qualified composite engineers and skilled workers with knowledge in composite processing. In close co-operation with leading representatives of the industry and with the private university of applied sciences “Private Fachhochschule Göttingen, PFH”, the network of competence CFK-Valley Stade generates the two novel study courses Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Science with the main focus on composite design and processing contents. The contents of teaching will be based on the requirements of leading companies in the market of composite technology. Due to this practical education, the diploma holders of the Composite Campus in Stade are ideally prepared for a straight career in future orientated CFRP markets.
