UD MRS Student Symposium on Oct. 30

(Website for symposium)

 

MSEG "Science as Art" contest

An iPod shuffle will be awarded at the fall UDel MRS student symposium (currently scheduled for Friday, October 30th). Students are asked to submit photos (images) from their research to this contest.  The prize will be given to the image that is judged to be the most outstanding in both scientific and aesthetic appeal, as in the "Science as Art" contests at MRS meetings. (Examples) Images must be posted or linked to the MSEG Facebook group by Monday at 5 PM of the symposium week in order to qualify (so we can do the judging before the symposium). Individuals may submit only two images maximum.

Prof. David Martin has been named the Karl Boer Chair of Materials Science and Engineering.

MSEG Facilities have Expanded

The expansion of DuPont Hall is completed, aligning the Front of DuPont Hall with that of Wolf Hall and Brown Lab. The new facade complements—in both scale and architectural merit—that of Gore Hall across the mall.

The building houses the departments of Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering, as well as the Dean's Office.
