Materials Science and Engineering
An unrestricted gift to the Materials Science and Engineering Fund gives the department the flexibility to support immediate priorities, and respond to emerging opportunities. Every gift counts no matter the size. It can support programs, facilities, conferences, faculty, and students.
Undergraduate Laboratory and Computational Center
Your generous gift provides supports MSE undergraduates with meaningful exposure to modern engineering tools to predict microstructures and properties of new materials processed in innovative ways. Immediate needs include software packages and associated databases, computer interface for the x-ray facility, and new computer, software, and controller for our tensile testing machine.
Materials United—Student Society
Your generous gift will support student members of ASM, TMS, ACerS, AIST, and AFS expand their knowledge and network in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. Your gift will help fund student involvement professional conferences, local professional society meetings, plant tours, and professional development seminars.
Richard W. Heckel Memorial Scholarship
Initiated by a group of MSE alumni, the scholarship honors Professor Richard Heckel. As a testament to his influence on students whom he taught prior to joining Michigan Tech, Alpha Sigma Mu (the national honor fraternity for the materials profession) will provide a matching contribution to the Michigan Tech recipient of this award. Your gift to this scholarship fund will help expedite the endowment of this award for the benefit of deserving MSE students.
