The Center for Advanced Materials at Tuskegee University (T-CAM) contributesto the basic and applied research in Materials Science and Engineering(MSE). It includes a Ph.D. program in MSE and supports research and education of a large number of minority undergraduate and graduate students. T-CAM faculty have developed state-of-the-art facilities to conduct research in many aspects of advanced materials and acquired expertise in chemical synthesis and analysis, processing/manufacturing, performance evaluation, and modeling of advanced materials and structures. However, several areas of research still need significant enhancement for Tuskegee University to become competitive among institutions that conduct cutting-edge research in MSE.The areas that have been identified for enhancement and development with funding through the RISE program include: 1) in-house manufacture of carbon nanotubes, 2) manufacture and characterization of advanced fibers reinforced with carbon nanotubes and other nano fillers, 3) research in advanced electronic materials, 4) videoconferencing capability, and 5) development of junior African-American facultymembers to enable them to join the research and education programs in MSE.

塔斯基吉大学先进材料中心（T-CAM）致力于材料科学与工程（MSE）的基础和应用研究。它包括一个博士学位。该计划在MSE和支持研究和教育的大量少数民族本科生和研究生。T-CAM教师开发了最先进的设施，在先进材料的许多方面进行研究，并获得了化学合成和分析，加工/制造，性能评估以及先进材料和结构建模的专业知识。然而，研究的几个领域仍然需要显著增强塔斯基吉大学成为在MSE进行尖端研究的机构之间的竞争力.已经确定通过RISE计划的资金增强和发展的领域包括：1）碳纳米管的内部制造，2）用碳纳米管和其它纳米填料增强的高级纤维的制造和表征，3）研究先进的电子材料，4）视频会议能力，和5）初级非洲裔美国教师的发展，使他们能够加入MSE的研究和教育计划。
