We rely on our alumni to improve the program.
LinkedIn is an online network of professionals, representing 150 industries. A LinkedIn group, Cal Poly SLO - Materials Engineering, was recently established. Please join us!
The generosity of our alumni help us continually improve the program. We generally use the funds you send to reinvest in the students here and maintain our alumni relations. The generosity also comes in the form of guest lectures to our students and involvement in the alumni network. Please see Top 10 ways to help us to get other ideas.
Please send donations directly to the Materials Engineering Department, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407.
