A huge congratulations to our Fall 2023 MSE graduates! We are so proud of you and can't wait to see what the future brings you! 🎓🥳🐝

Why are our professors setting materials on fire in class?

"Perplex the Professors" is the final project for MSE 3015: Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Materials. Students are challenged to bring in an engineered material, relevant to or taken from an electrical, optical, or magnetic device that will stump a panel of professors. After analyzing its structure, composition, and properties in a written report, the students give the material to the professor panel that will then have to guess the material's composition and the material's application using only a set of simple hand tools. The guesses from the professors will then be compared to the results provide from the group.

In addition to summarizing the learnings of the students from this class in a fun way, MSE Assistant Professor Lauren Garten wants to teach the students about practical ways to apply the information learned in class: "You can do a lot with some simple hand tools and some logic."

Our researchers are doing amazing things! Check this out!

Get excited for another Day in the Life of an MSE student tomorrow! The takeover will be hosted by one of our students, Avril!

Hi! I’m Avril Adams, a second year MSE and CE double major concentrating in structural materials, and I’m originally from Easley, SC. On campus, I’m involved with MSE USAC, GT 5 Rivers (the fly fishing club!!) and Undergraduate SGA, where I serve as our school’s Representative in the House and as chair of the Academic Affairs committee. I can’t wait to interact with you all throughout my instagram takeover! Please reach out if you have any questions, or just want to chat!

Our MSE Research Scholars presented their research posters to prospective MSE students at the Buzz Into MSE event this past Saturday, November 4th. Great job to everyone!

The MSE Research Scholars Program is open to first-year and transfer students majoring in Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech. The program provides the opportunity for first-year students to engage in a research project with faculty and graduate student advisors.

Recipients receive the MSE Research Scholarship during the summer. The award is $7,000.

For additional information about the MSE Research Scholars Program, please contact Tristen Jones, Education Outreach Manager, via email [email protected]

It was great seeing everyone gather on Family Weekend this year! We hope you all enjoyed meeting some of our faculty and talking to other MSE families.

Tomorrow, we will be hosting another "Day in the Life of an MSE Student at Georgia Tech!"

Hi! My name is Jenny, and I am a third year MSE major with a concentration in Polymers and Fibers. I am from Boston, MA, but I have loved getting to know Atlanta these past few years. I love to sew and do other arts and crafts, and MSE is the perfect place to incorporate my hobbies into my learning!

Join us on our Instagram story to see what Jenny gets up to tomorrow! You can find us on Instagram or at the link here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzUaaMYOzLY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== .

The Atlanta Center for Microsystems Engineered Point-of-Care Technologies (ACME POCT) has recently received an award of $7.8 million from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering of the National Institutes of Health. Over the next five years, this substantial grant will support inventors nationwide in their efforts to develop, translate, and test microsystems-based point-of-care technologies, with the ultimate goal of enhancing patient care.

Point-of-care technologies represent a pioneering approach to medical diagnostics, allowing tests to be conducted outside traditional laboratory settings, closer to patients. This advancement significantly accelerates the decision-making process for healthcare providers, making it more efficient and convenient.

Dr. Eric Vogel, the Hightower Professor of MSE and a co-principal investigator, emphasizes the importance of microsystems diagnostics due to their small size, low power requirements, and advanced engineered materials. This portability is essential for point-of-care testing.
