Our educational program includes curriculum leading to a Master's Degree in Engineering with an emphasis on composites. Classes are held in locations on the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility, including NCAM's on-site classrooms and conference room.
2002-2003 Academic Year
Fall 2002
ENME 4023 - Intermediate Engineering Analysis
This course studies topics in linear algebra, vector analysis and tensor analysis with application to the derivation and solution of important linear and non-linear ordinary and partial differential equations occurring in mechanical engineering.

This course studies basic Theorems and principles in the theory of structures (strain energy, virtual displacements, minimum total potential energy), general theory of beams bending (warping, shear flow in multi-flanged beams), general theory of torsion (shear center, multi-cell structures), plane stress problems, with application to design of aerospace structures made of composite materials.
ENME 6098 - Composites Manufacturing Principles I
Video Broadcast from NCAM to UNO
Introduction to composite materials, overview of composite manufacturing processes, general theory and underlying principles in short fiber composite manufacturing processes, long, continuous fiber composite manufacturing processes, advanced thermoplastic composite processing, advanced reactivate thermoset composite processing, pre-cursor materials, general theory of processing issues with thermoset and thermoplastic composite resin systems, Transport, physical and phenomenological issues in composite processing, genera theory of modeling and simulation approaches for composite processing, quality characterization.
ENMG 6130 - Management of Technology Change
Video Broadcast from NCAM to UNO
This course studies the emphasis on techniques that are useful in successfully introducing change in technical organizations. Also studied is the role of sponsors, advocates, targets, and agents. Change viewed as a process. Case studies are examined, when appropriate, but much of the learning is directed toward application of the principles of change to the students; organizations.
