ASM Materials Camp
July 18-22, 2021 (In-Person Camp)
Learn about materials science and engineering
Are you a highly motivated learner with an aptitude for math and science? If you are, then you should explore your interests by spending a week at Missouri S&T's Materials Camp! You will actively explore materials science and engineering principles through a combination of mini-demonstrations, field trips and group projects. With the help of experts, you will learn how to use state-of-the-art research equipment. You will also explore career opportunities available for those in the materials and engineering fields.
Camp Activities
- Solve technical problems. Students work in small groups to investigate various aspects and applications of engineering metals and ceramics.
- Learn to use state-of-the-art research equipment in an engineering laboratory under the guidance of experts.
- Visit several materials-related industries.
- Attend guest presentations.
- Participate in group projects, including design-build contests.
Past projects included microelectronic circuitry, friction-stir welding, ceramic magnets, metal casting, glass processing, heat treatment and mechanical property evaluation, plasma-spray deposition and others.
