McGill Materials Characterization supports many undergraduate, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, research assistants and associates, and professors in teaching, education, and research activities.
Access to equipment can be obtained through staff that will operate it or training can be obtained to be able to use it on your own. Complete a project form. As an educational institution, we believe that our role is also to give the opportunity to students to learn to operate instruments and design measurement protocols in addition to learn to apply and interpret the data generated with these techniques. Indeed, one cannot be considered a complete materials scientist or engineer without developing such skills; nor can one expect employment in technological industries without significant understanding of both materials and materials characterization.
More details on Policies, Procedures and Safety can be found in MMC handbook.
