In addition to the major technical themes, new courses are offered which complement the MRS meeting symposia. Examples are "Fractals in Materials Science," "Rapid Thermal Processing," and "Plasma Etching," to name a few. New courses which will complement Symposium topics are in the planning phase and will address the fundamentals of polymers, photochemical processing, and thermal plasma processing. The MRS Short Course Program will continue to expand the portfolio of courses
