Acquisition of Equipment for Electron Microscopy and Mechanical Testing of Materials

该项目为材料和先进工艺研究所（IMAP）提供了新的仪器，该研究所将被安置在爱达荷大学矿业和地球资源学院（COMER）的新建筑中。在IMAP进行研究的教师和学生将与工程和生物科学领域的科学家共享这些仪器。材料和材料加工研究已被确定为爱达荷大学特别关注的五个研究领域之一。COMER拥有爱达荷州唯一的博士学位授予材料项目。购置这些仪器将大大改善IMAP和COMER正在进行的研究基础设施。

This projects provides instruments to be used in a new, campus-wide Institute for Materials and Advanced Processes (IMAP), to be housed in a new building to be constructed for the College of Mines and Earth Resources (COMER) at the University of Idaho. Faculty and students conducting research in IMAP will share these instruments with scientists in engineering and the biological sciences. Research on materials and materials processing has been identified as one of five research areas to receive special attention at the University of Idaho. COMER has the only Ph.D. granting materials program in the State of Idaho. Acquisition of these instruments will provide a major improvement in the research infrastructure being undertaken by IMAP and COMER.
