• Description:
  This report documents the development of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety awareness course on composite structural engineering technology (CSET). The course is intended to promote awareness of structural engineering issues and principles for practicing aerospace engineers, as well as those relatively new to the industry, while highlighting safety implications. A practical application for professionals completing the course, such as FAA personnel, will be the ability to oversee design, production, and maintenance organizations. This was developed for a safety awareness education level to complement the specific skills needed for structures engineering and its relationship to maintenance and manufacturing. This includes material and process controls, design, structural substantiation, and other structural considerations essential to product safety and certification. As of 2021, 200 students have taken the course, and feedback from prior students provided the basis for improved training content.
