PREM
is
a
Partnership
for
Research & Education
in
Materials
between
Florida
Agricultural & Mechanical
University
(FAMU)
and
Carnegie
Mellon
University
(CMU)
that
seeks
to
integrate
Research
and
Education
in
a
manner
that
appeals
to
minority
students,
thereby
resulting
in
an
increase
of
minority
graduates
in
science
and
engineering.
The
project
is
directed
at
FAMU
by
Professor
Peter
Kalu.

project
can

- To
provide
opportunities
for
minority
students
to
participate
in
Materials
Science
and
Engineering
(MSE)
research
at
FAMU
and
CMU,
- To
strengthen
the
quality
of
the
MSE
curriculum
at
FAMU,
- To
strengthen
the
MS
and
Ph.D.
programs
in
MSE
at
FAMU,
by
creating
courses
and
attracting
new
graduate
students
to
the
program,
and
- To
strengthen
the
materials
research
program
at
FAMU
by
creating
a
set

research
collaborations
between
