The Michigan Materials Society (MMS) serves as the student society for those studying Materials Science and Engineering. MMS operates as the umbrella society for many of the professional societies in the field of materials science. This organization is also known as the “University of Michigan Materials Advantage Student Chapter of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), ASM International, the Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST), and The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS)".In order to accomplish our mission, MMS offers students opportunities to network with professionals and compete in contests and scholarships in various places like professional societies. MMS also holds a close knit relationship with the university's MSE department in order to unite the student body. Many events, such as our luncheon seminars and student/faculty mixers, are held throughout the year to foster the development of students.
