What is your future in Materials Science and Engineering? Tenured professor, laboratory researcher, industrial engineer, advocate, journalist—so many choices!

Join this panel of PREM graduates who have gone on to hold successful careers in academia, industry, government agencies and nontraditional sectors,  as they share insights about the role of materials science and engineering in their organizations and address existing career paths to explore.

Panelists:
