Meeting of the Minds @ Orcas Senior Center: Composites in the Aerospace Industry by Dr. Douglas A. McCarville – Wednesday, September 20, 1pm
Are you interested in the historic use and evolution of composites in the aerospace industry and how we use biological materials and structures as blueprints for new innovative products? Learn this as well as how advances in bios, nanos, health monitoring, self-healing, shape morphing, integrated energy storage, and recycling are required to meet escalating performance and efficiency demands on Wednesday, September 20 at 1pm at the Orcas Senior Center for our September Meeting of the Minds presentation, titled Composites in the Aerospace Industry by Dr. Douglas A. McCarville. All are welcome!
Dr. Douglas A. McCarville is a retired Boeing Technical Fellow and Adjunct Professor. He has degrees in Chemical Engineering, Business Administration, Systems Engineering, and Engineering Management. During his career, the aerospace industry systematically transitioned from mostly metallic to up to 50 percent composite. He holds 65 US patents and specializes in materials, design, tooling, equipment, and processes that supported this evolution.
