Materials Science and Engineering in Universities

At almost the same time as the 1958 faculty meeting, the US President s Science Advisory Committee referred to universities attempts to establish a new materials science and engineering and claimed that they needed government help (Psaras and Langford 1987, p. 23). [Pg.4]

The dean told the head of the department that various senior metallurgists around America had warned that the new department might lose out in attracting students by not having metallurgy as part of its title. That issue was left open, but the department clearly did not allow itself to be intimidated and Materials Science became its unqualified name (although and Engineering was soon afterwards added [Pg.4]

Henceforth, materials science will normally be used as the name of the field with which this book is concerned when the context makes it particularly appropiate to include and engineering in the name, I shall use the abbreviation MSE , and occasionally I shall be discussing materials engineering by itself [Pg.5]

There were also universities which did not set up departments of materials science but instead developed graduate programmes as an interdepartmental venture, usually but not always within a College of Engineering . An early [Pg.5]
