Bernhard R. Tittman, Schell Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, will open the Engineering Nano Characterization Center to this year's American Society of Materials (ASM) Materials Camp participants, scheduled for the week of July 9, 2007, at the University Park Campus. Dr. Tittmann and his team of graduate students will host a total of four teams during the week.

This year's camp will be conducted similar to the camp held last year which involved the campers experiencing four days of intensive hands-on lab work, with help from several noted faculty scientists. Dr. R. Allen Kimel, Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, coordinates the ASM Materials Camp.
