Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM)

Scientific and technological progress of our society demands the development of new materials as well as the optimization of the properties in those materials of actual use; materials–related issues are present in all types of industries. Therefore, the formation of professionals with an effective background in the understanding of science and engineering concepts behind materials […]

Three posters presented by University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez PREM students during the TMS Annual Meeting held in New Orleans in March 2008 received First Prizes during the poster competition. The corresponding departmental affiliation of the students reflects the inherent interdisciplinary nature that has fostered this PREM project.

UPRM PREM and the UPR IFN (Institute for Functional Nanomaterials) from the 30th of March through April 6th joined forces to host Nanodays in several Puerto Rican cities and towns. By this means, both NSF-sponsored projects join the NISE Network to reach out to the Hispanic community and educate them on the challenges and impact […]

The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez is providing opportunities to obtain meaningful experiences to undergraduates, especially minority students, in the area of synthesis of functional nanomaterials and the behavior of nanostructured materials.
