The goal of this project is to create a new unified upper level synthesis and processing laboratory that will integrate the synthesis and processing of all of the various materials classes. The experience provided by this new laboratory will complement and enhance the core curriculum, which was established at MIT a decade ago with the specific goal of exposing students to the fundamental unifying concepts of materials science and engineering. With the introduction of this new synthesis and processing laboratory, students for the first time will have the opportunity to experimentally explore porcessing-structure property relationships in a wide variety of different materials, including composites. Emphasis will be placed on design-oriented projects in which students will work in teams with well-defined goals and project missions. Laboratories will be designed to expose students to the importance of computers in modern processing, in process design and simulation, in data acquisition, and in process control. The program will be evaluated through student entrance and exit evaluations, recommendations of a Visiting Committee, and an ad hoc industrial panel. In addition to the development and implementation of the new laboratory, comprehensive student workbooks and instructor's guides will be generated for use by other institutions, and educational symposia will be held at professional society meetings.

这个项目的目标是建立一个新的统一的上层 合成和加工实验室，将整合 合成和加工所有各种材料类别。 这个新实验室提供的经验将补充和 加强核心课程，这是建立在麻省理工学院十年 之前的具体目标是让学生接触到基本的 统一材料科学和工程的概念。 与 引进这个新的合成和加工实验室， 学生将首次有机会 实验探索多孔结构性能关系 在各种不同的材料中，包括复合材料。 重点将放在以设计为导向的项目上， 学生将在具有明确目标和项目的团队中工作 任务。 实验室的设计将使学生接触到 计算机在现代加工、工艺设计和 仿真、数据采集和过程控制。 的 该计划将通过学生入学和退出进行评估 评估、视察委员会的建议和特设 工业面板。 除了发展和 新实验室的实施，综合学生 将生成练习册和教师指南，供以下人员使用： 其他机构和教育研讨会将在 专业协会会议。
