Material Advantage - Vice President: We hold social events to boost connections within the faculty and students of the department, and professional events to increase knowledge of different paths with Materials Science and Engineering and give opportunities for networking.

Favorite Class

Materials Laboratory Skills is my favorite class because it is so much fun! They let us loose in a lab, and we learn about as many machines and processes as we can. It is definitely the class that's most applicable to my career so far.
