UD-CCM and SAMPE UD Chapter will be hosting our Second Annual NASA imaginAviation (iA) Watch Party on February 28, 2024.
 

UD-CCM’s NASA University Leadership Initiative (ULI) is based on Composite Manufacturing Technologies for Aerospace Performance at Automotive Production Rates. A team led by UD-CCM is addressing technology barriers and education/workforce training needs in composites manufacturing that provides aerospace performance at high production rates for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and commercial air flatforms.
 

imaginAviation (iA) is a virtual, free event to provide the community an opportunity to experience the latest innovations in NASA Aeronautics through the eyes of TACP’S University Innovation, Convergent Aeronautics Solutions, and the Transformational Tools and Technologies projects.

This year’s theme is "Cultivating our Next Thought Leaders".  In addition to imaginAviation (iA), CCM will be discussing opportunities to become involved with research here at the center and how a mentor can assist in your personal development.
