        Greetings! 
  A sincere Happy Holidays from Corporate Programs! As 2012 comes to a close, Corporate Program is pleased to send you the winter edition of our newsletter.
This  newsletter highlights the efforts of Corporate Programs to help  companies recruit the talent they need.  We also present the Materials  Research Laboratory's (MRL) upcoming Materials Outreach Research  Program, a list of facilities and equipment for use by industry, and an  introduction to the newly appointed coordinator for industry usage of  facilities/equipment within the MRL. Finally, we want to recognize the  newest member of UCSB's Corporate Affiliates Program, Interlink Electronics.   
                                              Cheers to a Happy 2013!

  Careers in Engineering  &  How to recruit at UCSB 
 |  | 
 The Corporate Affiliates Program (CAP) helps students determine their future career paths. The programs we have created are called "Careers in...."  CAP has hosted "Careers in Aerospace," co-hosted "Careers in Energy/Energy Efficiency" with the Institute for Energy Efficiency, and "Careers in Education" during the first quarter. If you would like to be part of helping engineering and physical science students decide their future career paths please contact us.   
Companies can also contact us to find students for a variety of projects, internships, and jobs by having us host an "Information Session". Companies, regardless of size, are able to reach out to students through these Information Sessions by coming to campus to provide students with information about the company, as well as current and future employment opportunities. 
In addition to the "Careers in...," there are also events that examine more specific career skills such as interviewing, resume writing, and even discussing upcoming technology that is emerging within various industries.

 The Materials Research Lab is a Resource for Industry
  
 |  | 
 Industry is cordially invited to the upcoming Materials  Research Outreach Program (MROP 2013) on February 5th and 6th at UCSB's  Corwin Pavilion. The  program will focus on research efforts concerned with the science and  engineering of organic-based macromolecules and polymers as well as  inorganic materials.  MROP is just one of several endeavors designed to  stimulate collaborative relationships between faculty groups at UCSB and  industry scientists and engineers under the auspices of our Materials  Research Laboratory (MRL), a Materials Research Science and Engineering  Center funded by the National Science Foundation.   
The MRL also maintains  an impressive array of world-class research instrumentation in eight  associated Shared Experimental Facilities, technically staffed and  available for use by academic, government, and industry partners.  Their  Materials Research Facilities Network Director (mrfn@mrl.ucsb.edu) acts as an initial point of contact for queries about facilities access by external users. To read more about
