cal engineeringmajor so that I can use the knowledge I have
gained to work with a broader range of topics, including
polymers, nanotechnology, process design, and problem
solving.” Last year, John returned to Eisenman Materials
Camp, this time as a mentor.
George A. Roberts Scholarships
The George A. Roberts Scholarships were established
in 1995 through a generous contribution from Dr. George A.
Roberts, FASM, past president and retired CEO of Teledyne,
to the ASM Foundation as an expression of his commitment
to education and the materials science and engineering
community. Scholarships are awarded to outstanding
undergraduate members of ASM at the junior or senior
level who demonstrate exemplary academic and personal
achievements, and interest and potential in metallurgy
or materials science and engineering. Five scholars were
selected this year and will be presented with a certificate
and check for $6000 toward educational expenses for one
academic year.
Mary Cole
University of Akron
The combination of Materials Camp and
a guest presentation about corrosion engi-
neering convinced Cole to study materials. “In
my career, I plan to be a corrosion specialist
and would like to work in the oil and energy industry,” she
says. She has also volunteered at ASM Teachers Camps and
the ASM Eisenman Camp.
Ziyin Huang
Drexel University
Motivated by his interest in materials for
biomedical and electronic applications, Ziyin
has worked on a variety of projects, including
characterization of polymer crystallization at
curved liquid-liquid interfaces. He also serves as president
of the Drexel Material Advantage Chapter.
William Park Woodside Founder’s
Scholarship
The William Park Woodside Founder’s Scholarship was
established in 1996, by a gift from Mrs. Sue Woodside Shulec
in honor of her grandfather. William Park Woodside founded
our Society as the Steel Treaters Club more than 100 years
ago and later served as president of ASM. The scholarship
was established to support an ASM student member studying
materials science and engineering at the junior or senior level
who demonstrates strength in leadership, character, and
academics. Tuition of up to $10,000 for one academic year
and a certificate of recognition are awarded to the recipient.
Anna Bretzke
Missouri University of Science & Technology
Bretzke originally declared ceramic engi-
neering as her major, but changed her mind
after one week of working in a steel foundry.
Internships at GE Aviation and Phillips Petro-
leum strengthened her desire to learn more, and as presi-
dent of her Material Advantage chapter, she looks forward to
“opening up the world of materials engineering to students
of all ages.”
The Lucille and Charles A. Wert Scholarship
The Lucille and Charles A. Wert Scholarship was estab-
lished in 2006 through a generous bequest by the couple.
It serves as an expression of their commitment to educa-
tion and the materials science and engineering community.
Tuition of up to $10,000 for the academic year is awarded
through this scholarship.
John Coffey
The Ohio State University
Coffey, a chemical engineering major,
received his first taste of materials science
at the Eisenman Materials Camp. “My experi-
ences with ASM made me seriously consider
MSE for my major,” he says, “but I decided to go for a chemi-
