Recent ActivityInstructor: Mr. Peter A. Gange
MATERIAL SCIENCE HONORS is a course intended to introduce students to the laboratory and classroom experiences that they would encounter in the exciting field of material science and engineering (MSE). This course is a joint project between Middlesex High School, the Princeton University Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) and the U.S. Army-Fort Monmouth Communication Electronics Command.
This course will start on July 26, 2010 at Princeton University. During their one week module, students will attend lectures on globial warming, sustainable energy & semiconductors and will be trained in the use of the Scanning Electron Microscope as well as other laboratory apparatus. Students will tour the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL) and Universal Display Corporation.
Students will continue their research in the Globial Development Network, a program that challenges students to apply their understanding of material science concepts to real-world science & engineering challenges. Under the guidance of Professor Wole Soboyejo, founder & director of the U.S./Africa Materials Institute, students will design low-cost sustainable water filters.
Classes will resume in September, on the campus of Middlesex High School. Students will study different materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors & composites.
Students will also complete intergraded modules on Material Structure, Smart Sensors, Material Performance, Biodegradable Materials, Biosensors, Concrete & Sustainable Energy!
Using a grant from ASM International, the Materials Information Society, students will test the safety of aluminum bats.
Under the guidance of CERDEC Directorate Sam DiVita at Fort Monmouth, students will test the effects of mica-silicate solutions on flame retardancy for the Development & Engineering Center at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, the birthplace of nanoscience!

MATERIAL SCIENCE HONORS PROGRAM  Princeton University Materials AcademyThe Material Science Honors program started on July 27, 2009 at Bowen Hall, on the campus of Princeton University. Students attended lectures on ceramics, water filtration, solar ovens and the Globial Science Project. Students were also trained to use the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and witnessed semicoductor production in a "clean room". Students also toured the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL) and Universal Display Corporation as well as attended Professor Scherer's walking lecture tour on water and environmental damage on campus buildings.
 COURSE SYLLABUSThis year we will cover the following topics:
 SCIENCE OUTREACHThe future of America's strength in science and technology depends on the interest and proficiency of our nation's youth, school teachers, and the general public in math, science, and engineering. The Material Science Honors program is dedicated to promoting scientific and technological literacy. They has developed and implemented a number of educational programs through the establishment of unique partnerships between University scientists, K-12 educators and the local and global science community.
