Alumna Janet Mrotek and students visit campus to experience the wonders of MSE

On April 23 the Rutgers Chapter of Keramos welcomed 27 Piscataway High School honors chemistry students from Dr. Janet Mrotek's, a Rutgers MSE alum, class. Organized by Mikio LaCapra, Ethan Benderly-Kremen, and Katie Sun, the day of activities included individual take-home glass slump molding projects, a glass pouring demonstration, department and campus tours, and discussions about materials science and transitioning from life in high school to college. The students learned about glass science and material characterization fundamentals, and even got a glimpse of Professor Haber’s novel additive manufacturing research. Keramos Rutgers thanks the Ceramics and Glass Industry Foundation for their financial support and is excited to continue their mission of engaging the next generation of materials scientists.
