United States Congressman Gary Palmer spent the morning at the UAB School of Engineering on Monday, touring facilities and meeting faculty and students in several areas.

Palmer, who represents Alabama's 6th Congressional District, started his day at the Center for Biophysical Sciences and Engineering (CBSE) before moving on to tour the Materials Application Processing and Development (MPAD) Center and the Enabling Technology Laboratory.

"I think we have a world-class engineering and technology center here in Birmingham that many people don't know about," said Palmer. "Now that I've seen first-hand the work that is being done here, I hope that I'll be able to help get wider exposure for these facilities and projects that have so much potential."
