Mission
The Institute of Materials Processing (IMP) mission is to effectively support and promote a unique suite of materials processing facilities such that they will be functional and available to provide a competitive advantage for faculty-led research, to support instructional and outreach activities, and to enable a “maker-culture” for student creativity, prototyping, and entrepreneurship. Towards enhancing Michigan Tech’s portfolio of materials processing capabilities, IMP is also motivated to assist and support non-member faculty and units in the establishment of new capabilities and material processing functionalities.
