The School of Materials Science and Engineering supports a variety of student organizations, enabling students to enhance their academic experience and create community with other members of the MSE department. Information about each student organization is given below.

The Materials Innovation and Learning Laboratory

 

 

 

 

The Materials Innovation and Learning Laboratory (The MILL) is an open access undergraduate student-run make-and-measure space sponsored by the School of Materials Science & Engineering at Georgia Tech. We are based in the Love Manufacturing Building (Rm 176).

The MILL provides a relaxed and safe discovery space to gain hands-on experience in techniques common to the materials science and engineering discipline, including the processing of materials, the characterization of their chemistry and structure, and the measurement of their properties. All Georgia Tech students, faculty, and staff have open access to learn about any of our equipment during our open hours under the supervision of one of our MILL Staff Engineers (MSE), managed through our Equipment Teams

To get involved with the MILL:
