Advanced Materials Processing Lab (AMPL)
| The Materials Science and Engineering Department at Penn State offers an in depth education over the full spectrum of materials science and engineering including polymers, ceramics, metals, and electronic and photonic materials. The faculty in MatSE covers all interdisciplinary areas of research in materials including nanotechnology, electronic and photonic materials, biomaterials, computational materials science, composites, and a myriad of processing techniques. To boost the undergraduate experience the department allocated 2100 square feet of space for a state of the art advanced multi-functional Processing Laboratory. | |
 |
Located in 22 Steidle Building, this cutting edge facility provides a learning environment that allows our students the opportunity to work with material development in the areas of thin films, micro deposition, bulk forming, plastic deformation, powder synthesis, and thermal processing. This lab introduces a taste of the industrial world including the newer processing techniques such as: spin coating, inkjet printer deposition, rapid prototyping, spray drying, and electrophoretic deposition. This student experience spans multiple disciplines, allowing our students to work strategically with our materials faculty. |
 |
This lab is utilized to facilitate classroom experiences and give the opportunity for students at an early stage in their educational experience to participate in the processing techniques used in industry today. In conclusion, as the Department of Materials Science undergraduate class continues to raise the bar and to stay competitive in this exciting time in the materials world, this lab will become a leading tool in the success of our undergraduate program.
