Curriculum Development Workshop on Advanced Materials Science & Technology

先进材料的科学技术影响着许多行业。微电子、交通运输、能源储存、电力生产、生物医学和环境科学与技术领域是典型的例子。物理和化学构成了这些技术的基础，它们被应用于许多工程学科。在两年制和四年制大学中，影响知识和使学生接触材料科学和技术方面的机会所需的专业知识通常是不具备的。此外，高中生基本上没有意识到这个领域，它的重要性，以及未来就业和贡献的机会。本次研讨会的目的是向佛罗里达州周围的两年制和四年制大学以及整个地区的高中的教师介绍先进的材料科学和技术，特别强调以少数民族为主的机构。这次讲习班将把材料科学纳入他们的课程。预计将材料科学纳入物理、化学和工程课程将使学生了解基本原理。它还将向他们介绍令人兴奋的高等教育机会和材料科学与工程领域的专业职业。该项目的产品包括高中和大学阶段的物理和化学课程计划和课程材料（4门课程）。

The science and technology of advanced materials impacts a number of industries. The fields of microelectronics, transportation, energy storage, power production, biomedical, and environmental science and technology are typical examples. Physics and chemistry form the basis for these technologies, and they are applied in a number of engineering disciplines. the expertise needed to impact the knowledge and expose the students to available opportunities in materails science and technology is not commonly available in two and four year colleges. In addition, high school students are essentially unaware of the field, its importance, and the opportunities that exist for future employment and contributions. The objective of this workshop are to introduce advanced materials science and technology to teachers at the two and four year coleges around the State of Florida and high schools throughout the region, with special emphasis on predominantly minority institutions. The workshop will result in the incorporation of materials science into their curricula. It is expected that this incorporation of materials science into the physics, chemistry and engineering curricula will enable students to understand fundamental principles. It will also introduce them to the exciting hgiher educational opportunities and professional careers available in the field of materials science and engineering. Products resulting from this project will include lesson plans and course materials for physics and chemistry at the high school and college levels (4 courses).
