Composite material has found its application in the aerospace

application since the late seventies. It was first used on the military aircraftand later used in the commercial and general aviation aircrafts. Nowadays,

some of the general aviation aircrafts have used 100% of composite material

as its structural weight. The new generation aircraft which are Boeing B787

and Airbus A350 are using up to 50% of its structural weight from advanced

composite material.

According to JEC Composite survey the Asia Pacific will contributes

about 11 % of total composite market after US and Europe in the aeronautics

industry until year 2015. Comparatively, the region only contributes to 4% in

2005. According to MiGHT, most of the aerospace industries in Malaysia are

concentrating in the Commercial Aviation segment and Aerospace

Manufacturing only contributes less than 5% in 2006 turnover. However the

turnover in this sector from 2005 to 2007 has doubled and in 2010 it will worth

more than RM 1 billion. This is mainly due to the expansion of CTRM

contracts from international aircraft manufacturers and the establishment of

Spirit Aerosystem (M) in late 2008. There are other companies locally and

internationally contribute to this tremendous growth.

The expansion of this segment has opened up many job

opportunities. The number of skilled workers in the Malaysian aviation

industry is set to increase especially in the composite field. However the

sector requires high level of engineering technology competencies and the

composite technology is very new to this country. This is why the

establishment of a new training centre in the area of advanced composite ismuch needed to anticipate the vacuum of human capital in this area.

The Advanced Composite Training Centre (ACTC) is a joint initiative

by the Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (Might)

and Universiti Kuala Lumpur-Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology

(UniKL-MIAT). It is located in the premises of UniKL MIAT in Sepang,

Selangor which about 25 km from KLIA. The establishment of this center was

acknowledged in the MoU between UniKL and MiGHT during LIMA 2009

This initiative was undertaken in conjunction with the training program

arranged by Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA) for Spirit

AeroSystems Europe (Spirit Europe) following its investment in Malaysia. The

center is expected to become a world-class training provider in the area of

advanced composite technology. This centre will be the first in Malaysia to

provide the training in advanced composite manufacturing processes ranging

from fabrication of composite panel to the assembly of aircraft components.

Not only the industry can benefit the aerospace industry but also other

composite-related industry such as shipbuilding, automotive and defense.

UniKL MIAT is one of the UniKL campus

specializing in the Aircraft Maintenance Technology. The

program is industry driven with DCA approved Aviation

Maintenance Training Organization and attained the

second site approval from LBA to conduct EASA License

program. The program was established since 1998 under

Institut Kemahiran Tinggi MARA (IKTM) in Jasin and later to Sepang. The

campus is conducting more than 10 programs from pre-university to bachelor

programs.

The campus specialization in the composite technology can be seen

from the Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology in Composite it offers.

Up to date, more than 200 graduates have finished in this program and been

absorbed in MAS, Air Asia, CTRM, Spirit Aerosystem etc.

We have collaborated with Akzo Nobel and Heatcon to offer short

courses. Akzo Nobel is the world leading aircraft finishes product and

Heatcon is the premier supplier advanced composite material and repair

equipment. Up to date, we have trained the industries, government agencies

and educational institutions locally and globally.

MiGHT was launched as a company limited by

guarantee in 1993. It is an independent and

non-profit organisation that is driven by a membership drawn from both the

public and private sectors.

MIGHTs predominant role is to enable consensus building and coordination

for Industry-Government partnership in high technology. It provides strategic

technology inputs for Industry and Government, nurtures technology-based

enterprises and entrepreneurship as well as prepares knowledge workers

relevant to strategic and high technology industry needs.

Currently ACTC programs are parked under COIL (Center of Industry

Linkages) which offers various short courses under UniKL MIAT. The center

is headed by the Dean of UniKL MIAT and placed under the Deputy Dean of

Techoprenuer and Student Affairs. These are the courses offered by ACTC:-

Tooling

Kitting

Lay up

Curing

Mold and Demold

Non Destructive Inspection Trimming and Drilling

Painting

Assembly

Nonmetallic Repair

Mechanical Testing

Metallic Bonding and Repair

Our trainers have vast experience and qualification in conducting the training.

They are coming from both reputable industries and academics.

We have two dedicated workshops to support the desired training which are

the wet lay up and dry lay up workshops with 50 X 50 and 25 X 50

respectively. All rooms are connected with centralized pneumatic system with

110V optional. All temperature sensitive materials are kept in a freezer.

A 50kN universal testing machine (UTM), AGx 50kN from Shimadzu is

capable in doing mechanical testing for both solid laminate and sandwich

structures. The Non Destructive Inspection equipment suitable to inspect the

composite structures are available from magnifying glass, camera borescope,

tap test until ultrasonic A-scan. Two sets of heat blanket system are available

in order to perform advanced composite repair. A standard machining tool

such as dagger drill, router and mechanical cutting tools are acquired to

support various types of composite machining and trimming. An industry

standard paint booth and preparation rooms are available to support the

composite finishing and coating.

Aerospace and commercial standards materials are being used to support

the training. For pre-preg materials and other temperature sensitive materials

are kept in a freezer. Currently the matrix system used is epoxy-based and

other types of resin can be provided upon request. A complete bagging

materials are suited for both room temperature curing and high temperature

curing.
