Carnegie
Mellon University
The faculties of the Departments of
Chemistry
and
Chemical Engineering
offer
opportunities in graduate studies in polymer science and
engineering in their respective Departments
Together,
the faculty offer a variety of courses to provide the student
with a firm background in the field, and provide a research
environment covering a wide range of topics for study.
Please
browse the information on this page, and feel free to contact any
of the faculty for additional information on their special
interests.
Links
are provided to the Departmental Home Pages, where additional
information may be obtained.
The Pittsburgh Scene
The polymer
science and engineering community in the Pittsburgh area offers a
wide range of opportunity. In addition to the many seminars and
lectures on topics of polymer science and engineering at Carnegie
Mellon and the nearby University of Pittsburgh, the Polymer Group of the Pittsburgh
Section of the American Chemical Society holds 6-8 dinner
meetings per year (no charge to graduate students!) with speakers
giving after dinner lectures on timely topics of interest to its
members. Regional and national meetings of technical societies
meet in Pittsburgh from time to time as well, to augment this
fare.
The Colloids, Polymers and Surfaces (CPS) program offers
enrichment for graduate students in both its seminar series and
its annual Poster-Session for the CPS research community. The CPS
program is an interdisciplinary activity of the Departments of
Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics and Civil &
Envionmental Engineering. This enrichment is further augmented by
an annual MiniSymposium in Polymer/Colloid Science featuring
lectures by polymer scientists at Carnegie Mellon and the
University of Pittsburgh, along with a poster session (see 2000
MiniSymposium Program for a "pdf" file of a recent
program).
The location
in Pittsburgh of several major companies involved in polymer
technology affords the opportunity for interactions with
industrial colleagues. Graduate students frequently find
themselves in courses with students from industry, providing a
vantage of the subject matter from outside the sometimes insular
academic community. Doctoral graduate students often will have a
scientist from a local research laboratory as a member of their
Advisory Committee, and sometimes take advantage of specialized
equipment available in the industrial laboratory. For a visual
overview of the city of Pittsburgh, click Pittsburgh Video.
