The ACMTRL has as its charter the task of developing a better understanding of the design, analysis and manufacture of high performance composite materials and textile structures. The Laboratory is designed to provide support and technology transfer to commercial industry and government agencies on both the local and national levels.

The Laboratory has been in operation for over five years as the Advanced Composites and Textile Materials Research Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.   During this time it has been involved in many contracts and grants with private and government institutions .
