Overview

This page provides data on courses that include content on composite materials offered by CEAB accredited institutes in Canada. This data set accompanies the paper Composites Education In Canada: A Survey Of Composite Materials Course Offerings At CEAB Accredited Institutes presented by Dr. Casey Keulen at CANCOM2024 - 13th Canadian-International Conference on Composites, Waterloo, On. The data is presented in the table below, as well as in a CSV file for download.

Data collection was done manually by identifying the course listings of the institute and using the search function to find the word ‘composite’. This was performed during January – June 2024, which is during the transition between sessions in many institutes. Some institutes transitioned from their 2023-24 calendar to their 2024-25 calendar during this time. Every attempt to collect accurate data was made, however due to the nature of the searching method, time period, wide variety of data presentation conventions, and languages (English, and French) it is possible that some inaccuracies are present and/or out of date at this point in time. If you identify any inaccuracies please feel free to send any comments and/or updates on course information to ckn@composites.ubc.ca.

Abstract from Paper

This page (paper) presents the results of a review of composite materials education in higher education institutes accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Encompassing 46 institutes from all 10 provinces in Canada, data is collected from official course lists provided publicly by each institute. The analysis categorizes course content levels based on the extent of focus on composites (minor = 1, medium = 2, main = 3 as values in the table). Additionally, the paper reports on specific areas of focus, such as mechanics, processing, applications, and material science, the level (undergraduate or graduate) courses are offered, and if there is a laboratory component.

Composites Education In Canada: A Survey Of Composite Materials Course Offerings at CEAB Accredited Institutes, CANCOM 2024

This study aims to shed light on the current landscape of composite materials education in Canada, providing valuable insights for educators, students, and industry professionals. By examining course offerings across accredited institutes, trends, strengths, and potential areas for improvement can be identified and used to prepare the next generation of engineers for successful careers in the composite materials industry.

Engineered materials (designed to have specific properties) made from two or more constituent materials with different physical or chemical properties. The constituents remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level within the finished structure.
