A Workshop on 'New Directions in Materials Design Science and Engineering'; Atlanta, Georgia; October 19-23, 1998

为了完善材料设计科学与工程（MDS&amp；E）的愿景，发展对其完整性的共同理解，并在广泛的材料教育和研究界中制定必要的概念性路线图，佐治亚理工学院材料委员会与莫尔豪斯学院材料学院合作，将于1998年秋季在亚特兰大举行一次研讨会。讲习班的主要目标是查明关键问题和mds&e对国家教育和研究事业的潜在影响，包括障碍和机会，并查明后续讲习班的具体领域。研讨会将在以下四个主题中进行主题演讲和小组讨论：跨长度尺度的结构-性质关系，材料合成与设计，工艺设计科学与工程的要素，以及多学科材料教育。每个主题的杰出演讲者和小组成员都来自广泛的科学和工程学科。研讨会将产生一份报告，概述MDS&amp；E的精细化愿景，确定主要挑战和机遇。这项拨款由数学和物理科学理事会的多学科活动办公室资助。讲习班通过审查该领域的预期需求和影响，有助于确定未来材料研究和发展的方向。

9713569 McDowell To refine the vision of Materials Design Science and Engineering (MDS&E), develop a common understanding of its fullness, and chart out a conceptual roadmap necessary to pursue it within the broad materials education and research community, the Materials Council of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the materials faculty at Morehouse College, will hold a workshop in the fall of 1998 in Atlanta . The primary objectives of the workshop are to identify the critical issues and potential impact of MDS&E on the nationOs educational and research enterprise, both obstacles and opportunities, and to identify specific areas for follow-on workshops. The workshop engages keynote speakers and panel discussions in each of four themes: Structure-Property Relations across Length Scales, Materials Synthesis and Design, Elements of Process Design Science and Engineering, and Multidisciplinary Materials Education. The distinguished speakers and panelists in each theme are drawn from a broad range of science and engineering disciplines. A report outlining a refined vision of MDS&E that identifies key challenges and opportunities will result from the workshop. This grant is funded by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. %%% The workshop contributes to the directions that should be taken in future materials research and development by examining anticipated needs and impact in the field.
