Theses at the Materials and Process Simulation Center
The MSC Dissertation Depository (DD) was started on September of 1994.
The DD was created as an efficient means to communicate major developments
by graduate students engaged in materials and process simulations at
the MSC center. It is the intent of the DD to provide access to ALL
dissertations for graduate students who complete their work at the MSC.
However, it is the free choice of graduate students to provide their
dissertations in a format compatible with the Dissertation Depository.
Other advantages of an on-line record of dissertations include:
- Access: The world-wide-web provides world access to the student's
research, across the boundaries of continents. Access to the
information can be: a) complete, b) instantaneous, c) inexpensive.
- Recruitment: Graduate students can point out to future employers
the location of their dissertation for additional background
information. Dissertations provide a more detail record of the
graduate student's work than individual published papers alone can.
- Literature References: Dissertations are often cited in publications
and in many cases the only source of information on key scientific
ideas.
If you would like to provide your dissertation in a format suitable for
inclusion in the DD please contact the MSC web maintainers at
