CSEM-CSULA Materials Partnership Serves Undergraduates at a Local University

CSEM's Materials Partnership with California State University Los Angeles (CSULA) enhances the cohesion and visibility of the university’s budding materials research activities, enrich the research opportunities for its undergraduates, and make its students aware of post-graduate opportunities and the means to pursue them.

Located 13 km from Caltech, CSULA has high (>80%) enrollment of students from underrepresented minorities. CSULA has a growing level of faculty and student interest in materials science.

The CSEM/CSULA Partnership has three main goals: faculty exchange between the two universities’ seminar programs, purchase of instrumentation needed at CSULA for collaborative research with CSEM, and collaboration of CSEM and CSULA faculty in designing co-advised projects to involve CSULA undergraduates.

Six students and six faculty from CSULA were involved during the summer of 2003. For more information about the materials partnership please (click here)
