CWRU Materials Science & Engineering Department Tour
Technical Chair: Prof. James McGuffin-Cawley
6:00 Dinner
7:00 Informal Talks
7:30 Department Tours
Overview and Tour of the Materials Science and Engineering Department at CWRU
The MSE department traces its origin back to the first four departments that made up the Case School of Applied Sciences, but it has regularly re-invented itself looking to the future. The "technical portion" of the evening will focus on parallel tours of key department facilities: The Swagelok Center for Surface Analysis; The Center for Mechanical Characterization of Materials; The Case Metal Processing Center; and the Electrochemical/Fuel Cell Labs. Time will probably permit attendance at two tours. Prior to the tours, a series of short informal talks including an overview of the department and short presentations by an undergraduate and graduate student.
