Materials at Penn State Historical Gallery Project
Materials at Penn State Historical Poster Project launched in 2017 – The field of materials research is woven from many strands – metallurgy, ceramics, polymer science, physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, geosciences, the list goes on. The Materials at Penn State Historical Poster Project intends to capture significant people and events related to the illustrious history of materials discovery at this university. The metal-print posters in the ongoing series are on display in the second floor North Wing of the Millennium Science Complex.
