Processing Of Composites

The preservation of U.S. aeronautical leadership is an economic and military necessity, but it is by no means assured. The rise of Airbus, Ariane, and Embraer has been lightning fast; tomorrow could see the development of Japan's FSC or Israel's Lavi. Our competitors are well organized and often enjoy the support of their governments. Our capabilities are no longer unique; thus our future work is clearly defined for us.The key to continued U.S. preeminence in aerospace is to be found in the further research, development, and application of a group of revolutionary technologies in the areas of propulsion, numerical and symbolic computation, laminar flow modeling, and advanced materials and structures. Exploitation of the emerging technologies in these areas by industry, government, and universities will significantly impact the performance and cost of future aerospace vehicles and systems. Materials science and engineering, particularly the discipline of nondestructive evaluation, will play a major role in making such continued aerospace leadership a reality.From the use of plastic and glass radomes in the first jet engine demonstrators to the composite parts of today's most advanced aircraft, the need to ensure reliable materials has always been critical. Advanced materials and structural concepts offer the opportunity for significant airframe improvements on all types of aircraft. Indeed tomorrow's aerospace structures, such as the National Aerospace Plane, the Space Station, as well as the ATF and SDI-related items will employ a myriad of exotic materials that must be extremely reliable and highly producible.

Science Adviser

Dr. D. Allan Bromley, President Bush's science adviser, is firmly committed to the administration's gaining a better understanding of materials science and engineering and then going forth with a cohesive program from there. The MRS BULLETIN interviewed him on July 17 in his office in the Old Executive Office Building. Following is an excerpt of that interview.BULLETIN: The Department of Commerce recently issued a report that identified advanced materials as by far the leading emerging technology. Is special consideration being previded to spur this critical technology sector?BROMLEY: First of ail, we are preparing so that next year we will work with the Office of Management and Budget to develop a coherent federal program that spans ail the agencies together to get a coherent look for the first time at federal activity in materials science and engineering. I have long thought that was an orphan area, not only in government but in many of the universities, because it doesn't fit into department or agency boundaries.At the same time, the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, chaired by Ralph Gomory, the former chief scientist at IBM and now president of the Sloan Foundation, will be focusing on advanced materials and manufacturing as two very important areas that bear on economie competitiveness.Third, the new National Critical Materials Council will be focusing specifically on advanced materials and will be comparing the program planned for research in that area next fall.

ABSTRACTAn international study course program in Materials Science and Engineering based on innovative concepts in engineering education has been introduced by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Kiel for students from Germany and especially from abroad. The study program offers advanced materials science education culminating in the internationally recognized degree “Master of Materials Science and Engineering”. It aims at providing students with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of a global job market and the demands of industry and research institutions in modern industrial societies. Some of the main characteristics of the program for which tuition fees are not required comprise theoretical teaching and lab training modules held in English language, internet teaching modules, a broad choice of courses including courses in nontechnical skills, a Master thesis in areas of functional or structural materials, collaboration with research institutes, as well as participation in the European credit point transfer system for international acceptance of the course work. The program has started successfully in 1999 with students coming mainly from the Eastern European countries.
