Welcome to the JMU Center for Materials Science |
|
The Center for Materials Science at James Madison University was established as a resource to integrate undergraduate education with basic and applied research in materials science. The Center is a multidisciplinary initiative of the College of Integrated Science and Technology and the College of Science and Mathematics. Faculty in the departments of Chemistry, Geology, Integrated Science, and Technology, Mathematics, and Physics participate in the Center. The Center provides students the opportunity to develop broad multidisciplinary skills and knowledge in the science of materials. Educational Mission The educational mission of CMS is to develop and maintain an innovative interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary undergraduate program in materials science that will increase the maturation of students, their research experience, and their employment opportunities. The mission includes the integration of undergraduate education with basic and applied research in materials science. Research Mission The research mission of CMS is to increase funding for applied and basic research in materials science. Faculty and students focus on problems of interest to industry and government including materials characterization, processing, and applications including sensors, infrared analysis, and thermal structural-interactions. |
