June 20 2007: Some members of the team that got us to where we are today came up for the Grand Opening: from left: Tom, Russell, Jason, Lydia, Ann, Andre, Eddy.

The Brunswick Advanced Composites Center is up and running. The June 20 opening was attended by aproximately 200 people, and a good time was had by all. We are using the relative calm of the summer months to work on the course programs, dial in the curriculum and offerings, and poll the industry about what's needed. Come September, we'll be off to a busy fall semester, starting with the Intro and Advanced Closed Mold courses in September. Keep checking back for updates on courses and information. Let us know what you need, and stay in touch.

Customer Testimonials

Andre and Lydia,  

I wanted to let you know how much my students and I appreciated the Workshop you held at Seattle Central Community College . The program was very understandable and contained just the right amount of information to encourage us to try a few things out. We have viewed the CD, again and are considering ways to approach some small projects, here in our shop. I will keep my eyes on your website (wonderful links, also) in anticipation of attending one of the more comprehensive workshops.

Thank you,

Andre,  

I attended your technical session last week at CFA and I still had a Couple of questions after viewing your paper. By the way I thought your session was terrific; I wish there were more university professors with your teaching ability.

Andre,  

Thanks for the quick response and the leads. It's nice to know there are people like you in the industry who are willing to share their experiences and their valuable time with others.

Andre,  

I just wanted to start out by saying that me and Danny really enjoyed your class on VIP. We learned a lot from it.

Thank you for your time, WM, Vonore, TN

Thank you for such an enlightening seminar.... I really took away a lot of insight from your class.  I am very much excited about the coming Seminars.  My knowledge base is limited, but I am extremely interested in going to a process such as this for the near future.  I liked the open atmosphere in the class, being able to converse verses just sit and listen. Again, Thank you for such a great class. 

Thanks for the demonstrations and information regarding the infusion processes. They were very informative and concise. The open format lent itself for discussion of the processes and I thought that was a nice change from a more structured, no question asked till after the demonstration format style.
