This project addresses the current education of engineers in the subjects of applied mechanics and materials science. Although these two fields are increasingly linked in the research and industrial communities, this trend has not filtered down to the engineering curriculum in most universities. Applied mechanics and materials science are often taught by different departments, each with vastly different goals, focus, and language; direct relationships between these intrinsically connected subjects are infrequently included in course material.This project links these disciplines in the engineering curriculum through 1. a model for integrating currently disparate courses in the typical undergraduate engineering curriculum, building on successful preliminary results; 2. courseware for use in engineering courses that takes advantage of recent innovations in scientific research and instructional technology; 3. foundation basis for developing, at a future time, graduate curricula that based on the integration and synthesis of mechanics and materials; and 4. use of the Internet, interactive media, and workshops to bring the two communities in instructional academe together in content and effective learning methodologies.

该项目涉及当前工程师在应用力学和材料科学方面的教育。尽管这两个领域在研究和工业界的联系越来越紧密，但这种趋势并没有渗透到大多数大学的工程课程中。应用力学和材料科学通常由不同的部门教授，每个部门都有非常不同的目标，重点和语言;这些内在联系的学科之间的直接关系很少包含在课程材料中。 在成功的初步结果的基础上，将目前不同的课程整合到典型的本科工程课程中; 2. 利用科学研究和教学技术的最新创新，在工程课程中使用课件; 3. 为将来发展以力学与材料的整合与综合为基础的研究生课程奠定基础;利用互联网、互动媒体和讲习班，使两个社区在教学大纲的内容和有效的学习方法上走到一起。
