Faculty members at the authors' institution are involved in multidisciplinary materials research through a National Science Foundation funded center. One goal of this center is to empower materials education through the incorporation of research outcomes into the undergraduate and graduate curricula. There are currently no MSE degree programs on this campus; therefore, a variety of means is being employed to infuse MSE information into non-MSE curricula. In addition to classroom lectures and case studies, students receive an extramural exposure to the multidisciplinary aspects of MSE by engaging in team or individual projects that exploit fully the center's facilities and resources. Benefits are being experienced in terms of a heightened enrollment of students in graduate MSE programs, and increased placement of students in materials related positions in industry. The paper describes the status of these efforts.
