Gain Industrial Perspective

Research Fest

Partnerships & Initiatives

MSE faculty have strong interactions, collaboration, and support from industry, other universities, government laboratories, and professional societies. These interactions add value to the ongoing research, providing important industrial perspective, additional research capabilities and skills, and financial support.
