Abstract:
This report was prepared for the purpose of critically evaluating the proposed Plastics & Composites Technology program. The aim was to determine whether the program would benefit the community and students, while catering to the needs of the Plastics & Composites industry in particular, and other businesses in general. Many institutions around metropolitan Detroit offer programs and courses at various levels in Plastics engineering which focus on process or manufacturing, while the proposed OCC program is geared toward Design Engineers in Plastics & Composites at the Associate Degree level.
