A presentation at the 2019 Industry Day, the last time we held this event in person

At the MSE R&I Showcase (formerly known as Industry Day), our students showcase their research through presentations and poster sessions. Professionals and members of academia are invited to learn, network, and meet prospective interns and job seekers.

Presentations and posters at the symposium cover clean energy generation and storage, biomaterials, semiconductors, composites and more. Attendees can find ideas of interest to their organizations while helping to improve the quality of our graduate education.
