About Us

Material Advantage is a student group that empowers students to advance their academic careers and create a solid foundation for engaging the world as a professional upon graduation. The purpose of this Chapter shall be to promote among its members a self-sought increasing knowledge of metallurgy, ceramics, materials science and engineering and all its branches and to instill a professional pride in their chosen life work. This purpose is achieved by exposing students to several of the leading materials-based societies through a single low-cost membership to The American Ceramic Society (ACerS), the Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST), The Minerals, Metals, & Materials Society (TMS), and ASM International.
