Nuclear facilities (Argonne, Brookhaven) and astronomical observatories are examples, Materials science is neither the "Big Science'' of physics nor the little science of the $50,000 grant for, say,

This involves much more than research and, in any case, the interaction relative to any one department or area remains diffuse. Present University-Industry Coupling Attempts in the Materials Field The traditional coupling modes noted above are all utilized in the materials field.

The descriptive literature on the various binary arrangements discloses a high degree of similarity among the programs. If survival is a test of fitness, these coupling arrangements indicate rather unambiguously the features required for success, and serve as models for similar attempts.

Of the three programs, the Washington University with the Monsanto Company is still funded and has resulted in the setting-up of an interdisciplinary focusedresearch laboratory and a corresponding degree program concentrating on composite materials. The University reports on its own program in the following terms: "Prior to September 1965, activities in materials science and engineering at Washington University were limited to an informal program in Metallurgical Engineering.

There has been a free interchange of students in our courses in polymer science, applied mechanics, and metallurgy as well as interaction between Monsanto personnel and the students' A number of students have conducted part or all of their research activities in the Monsanto Laboratories, several being involved there now.'' The principal results are: "That the Monsanto/Washington University Association program sponsored by the ONR/ARPA contract has been the primary stimulant for a Materials Science and Engineering Program at the University. "That industry-university cooperation in a specific research area has led to a meaningful experience for a graduate student with the direct consequences being a better appreciation of the relevance of his research to the technological community, an acceleration of his research program, and a more stimulating environment in which to work.

The programs have included one for industry research personnel internships at the universities' materials centers. The Panel has developed, encouraged, and participated in reviewing the intrastate coupled contracts between industry and universities which have been funded by the Pennsylvania Science and Engineering Foundation (PSEF)
