MSE Hosts a Second Year of REU Activities

Ten students from various institutions across the country successfully participated in the REU program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Faculty from the Material Science department provided research opportunities for each student and all of them used the state of the art equipment on campus. Students also toured a company located on Centennial Campus and had productive discussions about career paths. The program concluded with a campus wide symposium where each student show-cased specific research accomplishments. The symposium featured programs from across the campus and other NC institutions.
