Plastic Injection Molding Course (12 hours) Outline: High school STEM teachers will learn the injection molding process including plasticating, injecting, cooling, and ejection of finished parts. STEM teachers will also learn how to operate an injection molding machine and become familiar with basic economics of injection molding. Many practical applications of STEM skills will be shown through the course. Relations to STEM: The objective of this course is to provide a toolset of examples that are exciting to high school students and also show how STEM skills are used in the injection molding industry. Career options for students: Utah has not had any local injection molding training facilities in the past; requiring companies to train employees on the job. As Utah’s injection molding industry has grown the number of trained workers has not matched pace. Students who graduate from the DATC injection molding program will not have difficulty finding jobs.

The lab will also need to be exciting and interesting for their students. The basic injection molding process can be demonstrated with a clamp, a mold, a hot glue gun, and colored hot glue sticks. Additionally, the principal of hydraulic intensification can be shown using two syringes and a connecting tube. STEM teachers will perform this lab at the DATC to prepare them to teach the lab to their students in the high school. STEM teachers will be encouraged to provide extra credit to students who come visit the DATC injection molding lab and experience injection molding for themselves. Students who visit the lab are more likely to start and complete training in STEM careers, either at the DATC or other institutions of higher learning. Location: DATC Freeport West Campus, Building D-5 Option 1 Tue & Thur, Jun 16, 18, 23 and 25 • 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Option 2 Tue & Thu, Jun 30, Jul 2, 7 and 9 • 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Option 3 Tue & Thu, Aug 11, 13, 18 and 20 • 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm


2015 DSD STEM Awareness Courses Composites Course (12 hours) Outline: To teach the basics of Composite Materials to the STEM teachers of Davis County. This will include an introduction to advanced fabrics, resin systems, processing methods, along with health and safety training. Relations to STEM: The Composites industry requires physics, mathematics, and engineering in every aspect of the manufacturing of composites parts. Some examples for math would be calculating resin ratios, weighing fabrics, and measuring resin flow distances. A great example of physics would be the required use of Darcy’s law to produce infused composites parts. Resin crosslinking and converting from a liquid to a solid will also be great for chemistry examples. Just about everything we do in composites relates to any field of Science. Career options for students: There are about 60 composites companies located in the state of Utah. Although a majority of the companies are aerospace related, there are also sporting goods, materials, automotive, and engineering companies. Program Overview: The Composites program at the DATC starts off with the very basics of composites manufacturing that can be done in a student’s garage, then on to more advanced materials and processes, into repair work, and onto part creation from blueprints. Session 1 - Composite Basics This course introduces students to the basic materials, tools, vocabulary, and safety practices used in the composites industry. Students will learn about various composite materials, chemicals, tools, and the procedures and processes of fabrication.

In lab project: The STEM teachers will need a lab that can be performed multiple times at their facility with minimal equipment and material costs. The lab will also need to be exciting and interesting for their students. Performing a vacuum infusion processing lab can be done without any expensive equipment or materials. The teachers can be taught the process and then” infuse” a mold that can be taken back with them and used to infuse parts for their student demonstrations. The part could be a simple Captain America shield that is low cost and very exciting to students. Portable Lab: The only equipment needed to produce a Composite part with the infusion process is a mold, a vacuum pump, and the consumable materials. The mold can be produced during the “in lab project” and can be used multiple times. A low cost vacuum pump can be purchased for $45.95. The consumable materials would be the infusion resin, the fiberglass materials to make the mold and shield, and the vacuum bagging materials. Once the mold is made and a vacuum pump is purchased, the process can be repeated for just the cost of the materials. Location: DATC Main Campus, Room 1059 Option 1 Tue, Wed & Thur, July 28 - 30 from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm Option 2 Tue, Wed & Thur, August 11 - 13 from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Session 2 - Non-Vacuum and Vacuum Bag Fabrication During this course, students will learn the terminology associated with non-vacuum and vacuum bag fabrication. Students will also learn the reinforcement fabrics common to industry, selecting appropriate materials, proper mixing of reinforcement materials, and vacuum bag and non-vacuum processes. Session 3 - Vacuum Infusion Processing Students in this course will learn about vacuum infusion processing. Students will also cover terminology, types of materials used and the science behind the process. datc continuing education
