thatproduct or feat possible. Moreover, the predisposition to associate “airplanes” withmechanical/aerospace engineering, “bridges” with civil engineering, and “medical implant” withbiomedical engineering further hides from common view the contributions of materials scienceprinciples to the development of modern technology.Many materials science courses do not adequately address this disconnect between theory andapplication. Materials science courses taught to non-majors tend to be lecture-style, large, andseemingly disconnected from the student’s academic major. These courses can be augmented bysmaller sections (e.g. recitations or study sessions), but these sections are generally focused on theproblem solving approaches in materials theory

Wet layupis messy and controlling the amount of resin in the composite is difficult. The main drawbacksto using prepregs have been cost, availability of small quantities, and facilities, as aerospace-quality parts are cured in an autoclave or hot press. Over the past few years, lower-cost carbon-epoxy prepregs that can be cured without an autoclave have become available. The authors sharedetails regarding material
