The Center For Micro-Engineered Materials has been a site for the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates Program since 1994. The Center for Micro-Engineered Materials has been a site for the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates Program from 1994-2003. Since 2003, we are a part of the DOD ASSURE program (Awards To Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Experiences). The Center is the focal point for research on advanced ceramics and inorganic materials synthesis. Faculty from Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering and Physics work in the Center to develop new technologies to make the U.S. more competitive in ceramic science and engineering. The projects are interdisciplinary in nature and use state-of-the-art equipment within the Center and the Advanced Materials Laboratory, a facility operated jointly by UNM and Sandia National Laboratories.
