  1. Publishable Glass Research with UndergraduatesSteve A. Feller, Coe College, DMR 0904615 • Annually, 25 undergraduates from Coe and other schools do glass research at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. • More than 225 students have participated in this research tradition that exceeds 30 years. • We host an NSF-REU site on spectroscopy, including glass science. • We have many visiting students do research with us and we send Coe students to collaborating labs. • We are superbly equipped for this research, see next slide. • We publish extensively—over 125 papers to date with undergraduates. • We take students to present at national and international meetings; more than 300 to date.

  2. Coe College Research Equipment Steve A. Feller, Coe College, DMR 0904615 • We are superbly equipped for this research including X-ray diffraction, atomic force and electron microscopy, Raman, laser mass spectroscopy, glove boxes, many thermal and characterization instruments, unusual glass making equipment including laser levitation and our own designed twin-roller quenchers (images by S. Feller and M.Affatigato).

  3. Coe College Glass Research Student OutcomesSteve A. Feller, Coe College, DMR 0904615 • 74% of over 200 Coe glass research alumni attended graduate school upon graduation. • Recent and current graduate schools attended include Harvard (2), Yale, Georgia Tech (3), Univ. of Minnesota (3), MIT, Northwestern, UC Davis, UC San Diego, Stanford (2), Colorado, Iowa State, Penn State, Missouri Univ. of Science and Tech (Rolla) (3), Lehigh, and several others. • Employment of alums includes Corning, Inc. (2), Argonne National Lab, Georgia Tech, Applied Materials, Los Alamos National lab (3), Motorola, Inc., McKinsey Consulting, Rockwell-Collins (10), Medtronic, and numerous others. • Numerous patents have been obtained and papers have been published by these alumni. • Students become good citizens and give back to our community by participating in many science outreach programs at Coe.
