Paper Authors
Esteban Maya Muñoz Universidad del Valle
Esteban Maya Muñoz. Mechanical Engineer with a Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Universidad del Valle, has focused his research work on propulsion systems, particularly in topics related to hybrid rocket engines combustion and numerical simulation. However, structural analysis has been also part of his professional development as an engineer and the application of composites to structures has open his mind to new frontiers showing his ability to adapt to different branches of applied engineering. Actually develops as Engineering Director at a local company working in the design of equipment for industry and as Assistant Professor at Universidad del Valle.
Ronald Sterkenburg Purdue University, West Lafayette
Prof Ronald Sterkenburg is a Professor at Purdue University and his teaching and research areas are composite materials manufacturing.
Jairo Antonio Valdes Ortiz Universidad del Valle
Biography
Dr. Jairo Valdes was born in Santiago de Cali, a small city in southwestern Colombia. He received his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at the Universidad del Valle in 1993. In 1998, Dr. Valdes received his master’s degree in mechanical engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia located in Bogota. After returning to Cali, Dr. Valdes started his professor career and joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at Universidad del Valle in 1999. Dr. Valdes was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 2005, and subsequently began his doctorate studies with the Mechanical and Aerospace Department at West Virginia University, Morgantown. Dr. Valdes obtained his Ph.D. in the fall 2010 and is continuing his career as a professor at the Universidad del Valle. In 2010 obtained the Ph.D. degree in mechanical Engineering at West Virginia University with a dissertation dedicated to study the macro segregation in Nb bearing superalloys. In 2011 was awarded with the Best International Student Paper Award 2011, by the American Society of Materials (ASM).

Abstract
This work presents a description of activities and results achieved from the implementation of a "hands-on" training program in the field of manufacturing of fiber reinforced composite materials for aerospace applications within the framework of the Fulbright Specialist program. The host institution for the program was the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia and the Specialist was Dr. Ronald Sterkenburg from Purdue University. The implemented process to fulfill the defined objectives is shown as well as some of the work developed after the specialist visit, which is related to what was called project AVE. Finally, some general conclusions were drawn along with the lessons learned and necessities to continue working in the area.
