ORNL–General Atomics partnership on ceramic matrix composites
A memorandum of understanding has been signed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) with the objective of working together on advanced ceramic matrix composite materials for applications in extreme environments. Materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, corrosion, and mechanical stress are required in aerospace, defense, energy, and other sectors.
According to the agreement, the San Diego–based GA-EMS will use resources from ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility to develop “scalable, efficient manufacturing techniques for extreme environment materials including precursors, fibers, composites, and coatings utilized in carbon/carbon (C/C), carbon/silicon carbide (C/SiC), and SiC/SiC composite systems.”

Mental health has become an increasingly critical topic in the engineering field, where high stress, a historically rigid culture, and competitive environments can take a significant toll. This session highlights current research on mental health challenges and support systems in engineering education and practice. Panelists will also discuss emerging curricular efforts-such as courses designed to engage engineering students in conversations around emotional intelligence and well-being and examine how industry is responding with new resources, evolving workplace norms, and growing attention to psychological safety. Join us to explore how we can collectively engineer a culture that supports mental health across the profession.
