Through a partnership between Clark Atlanta University (CAU) and Penn State, CAU students for the second year had the opportunity to participate in a summer research experience for undergraduate (REU) in materials science and engineering on the Penn State, University Park campus
CAU students contributed to many collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects related to materials science and engineering as well as gained hands-on experience. The REU was funded by the National Science Foundation, Arconic and Arconic Foundation, and the Department of Defense.
Other activities conducted through the CAU/Penn State partnership included Penn State-led workshops at CAU and visits to Penn State by CAU faculty and students, which were supported through generous funding from Arconic and Arconic Foundation.
