MRS On-Site Short Course Program Reaches Out to Industry In 1989 the MRS On-Site Short Course Program continued to provide a valuable educational service to the materials science community by reaching out to discover and respond to industry's spécial needs. The On-Site Program is designed to take MRS short courses to companies interested in upgrading their staffs' scientific, engineering, and technical knowledge in a cost-effective manner. Several companies now regularly use the MRS On-Site Program for their continuing éducation programs. The On-Site Short Course Program was originaUy developed to respond to companies' needs for training at their own geographical locations. The materials science and technology courses most frequently requested were those a staff member had attended at an MRS meeting and which were considered of interest to the company in gênerai. Companies can take advantage
