Materials science and technology impacts a number of industries. The fields of microelectronics, transportation, energy storage, power production, biomedical devices, 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 impart the knowledge and expose the students to available opportunities in materials science and technology is not commonly available in two and four year colleges. In addition, high school students are often completely unaware of the field, its importance, and the opportunities that exist for future employment and contributions. Workshops which introduce advanced materials science and technology to teachers at four year colleges, community colleges, and high schools, with special emphasis on minority institutions will be offered. The workshops will result in the incorporation of materials science in their curricula. It is expected that this incorporation of materials science into the physics, chemistry, and engineering curricula will enable the students to understand the fundamental principles of materials science. It will also introduce them to the exciting higher educational opportunities and professional careers available to them. This proposal also includes a plan for assessing the factors in the workshops that most affect the learning process, and then modifying the recruitment process and the workshops themselves to make them more effective. The results of the assessment process and a description of the workshops will be disseminated to other institutions in order to further expand the reach of this program.

材料科学技术影响许多行业。 微电子，运输，能源存储，功率生产，生物医学设备以及环境科学与技术的领域是典型的例子。物理和化学构成了这些技术的基础，并将其应用于许多工程学科。 在两年和四年的大学中，不常见的是授予知识并使学生获得材料科学和技术机会的可用机会所需的专业知识。 此外，高中生通常完全不知道该领域，其重要性以及未来就业和贡献的机会。 将向四年制大学，社区大学和高中的教师介绍高级材料科学技术的讲习班，并特别着重于少数民族机构。 讲习班将导致材料科学在其课程中纳入。 预计将材料科学纳入物理，化学和工程课程将使学生能够理解材料科学的基本原理。 它还将向他们介绍他们可获得的令人兴奋的更高教育机会和专业职业。 该提案还包括一项计划，以评估最大程度地影响学习过程的研讨会中的因素，然后修改招聘过程和研讨会本身，以使其更有效。 评估过程的结果和研讨会的描述将被传播到其他机构，以进一步扩大该计划的影响力。
