PIRE students
The PIRE education plan has the following four objectives:
- Enhance undergraduate and graduate student research experience via short-term research abroad with priority given to women, underrepresented groups and first-generation students to attend college.
- Integrate polymer-derived ceramic research into education via short course offerings and hands-on modules.
- Enhance knowledge generation and quality of graduate programs through collaboration among multiple research groups including reciprocal visits and dual degree graduate programs.
- Broaden communication with materials science and ceramics communities through technical interest groups at the American and European Ceramic Societies.
