Introducing Science Faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to Materials Science and Engineering

阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨分校冶金与材料工程系为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的数学和物理科学教师和教育工作者设立了一个暑期项目。这个为期一个月的项目的目标是通过他们的教授让少数民族学生熟悉材料科学和工程领域。该项目以戈登会议的形式组织，包括传统和非传统课程，结合了动手实验室和计算机活动，以及参观工业材料工厂。该项目允许HBCU的教职员工将材料科学和工程的各个方面融入他们的数学和物理科学课程。它还允许他们告知他们现在和未来的学生关于材料学科的知识，并让他们意识到该领域的就业和研究生机会。该奖项由多学科活动办公室和数学和物理科学局材料研究司支助。

9976488AcoffThe Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa establishes a summer program for faculty and educators in the mathematical and physical sciences from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The goal of the one-month program is to acquaint minority students, through their professors, with the field of materials science and engineering. The program is organized in a Gordon conference style, and includes traditional and non-traditional classes with a combination of hands-on laboratory and computer activities and visits to industrial materials plants.The program allows HBCU faculty to incorporate various aspects of materials science and engineering into their mathematical and physical science courses. It also allows them to inform their current and future students about the discipline of materials and to make them aware of employment and graduate school opportunities in the field. This award is supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities and by the Division of Materials Research of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
