Dr. Maureen Foley is a leading Materials Engineer with the U.S. Navy. She is graciously doing this special presentation for engineering students, Introduction to Requirements Definition and Materials Selection in Developing New Components for U.S. Navy Applications. If you are wondering about how engineers design and use new materials, she will explain this design process in great detail. She also will share her experience as an engineering, and answer questions you may have about possible future career paths.

Dr. Foley is a regular presenter at scientific conferences. She shares the latest developments in material engineering, and data from recent investigations and trials. The graphics to the right depict some of the research she presented during the Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium in September 2020. Her presentations show the engineering design process she designs for her team and the resulting data that informed their final solutions. She will introduce these ideas for those new to Materials Engineering.

In addition, Dr. Foley is a STEM advocate. She will be happy to discuss her path through engineering and discuss your questions about future career paths. You can read about her passion for STEM in this July 2020 article.
