结果从最近的重新评估计算材料科学与工程（CMSE）教育的状态报告。调查分发给了材料项目的主席和负责人，从事计算研究的教职员工，以及材料科学家和工程师的雇主，主要是在美国。这些数据的汇编，以评估目前的课程提供相关的CMSE，在MSE课程中引入计算方法的一般气候，并从雇主的角度来看的要求。此外，现有的教育资源和他们的社区使用进行了审查。调查显示，将计算内容纳入MSE教育的普遍支持。然而，它们也反映了实施方面的剩余问题，以及课程中教授的工具与雇主使用的工具之间的差距。总体而言，结果表明，有必要全面发展的愿景和计划，以进一步整合计算方法到MSE课程。
Results from a recent reassessment of the state of computational materials science and engineering (CMSE) education are reported. Surveys were distributed to the chairs and heads of materials programs, faculty members engaged in computational research, and employers of materials scientists and engineers, mainly in the United States. The data was compiled to assess current course offerings related to CMSE, the general climate for introducing computational methods in MSE curricula, and the requirements from the employers' viewpoint. Furthermore, the available educational resources and their utilization by the community are examined. The surveys show a general support for integrating computational content into MSE education. However they also reflect remaining issues with implementation, as well as a gap between the tools being taught in courses and those that are used by employers. Overall, the results suggest the necessity for a comprehensively developed vision and plans to further the integration of computational methods into MSE curricula.
