hello,

i'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to learn about using
composite materials. i've just been astounded at some of the stuff
modern ceramics and composite materials can do, and would one day like
to be able to use these materials personally. unfortunately, i know of
no place to learn though. where can i go to learn how to make use of
these advanced materials?

my college (university of maryland) has a wonderful materials
engineering program, but it doesnt teach you how to user materials, only
teaches you what they do. i'm only reasonably interested in material
properties, i'm far more interested in how to make things with the
materials.


thanks,
Myren
