AWARE-Japan, China, Korea, Hong Kong: Materials Science and Engineering Research Experiences for Graduate Students, Undergraduate Students & Teachers

0224929 thadhani该奖项支持一个为期三年的国际合作研究经验项目，供教师、研究生、本科生和科学教师在日本、韩国、中国和香港的网站上进行材料科学和工程的多学科领域的研究。该项目的首席研究员是亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院的纳雷什·塔德哈尼。每年将有五个教师/学生/教师小组参加。这些教师将从亚特兰大地区的高中中挑选。该项目将在夏季为学生提供长达八周的亲身参与材料研究的机会。这些研究项目的设计将促进美国和东亚国家教师之间的研究互动，同时确保每个团队成员除了获得国际研究经验外，还能获得具体的好处。研究生将能够提高论文工作的质量和/或范围，同时也学习成为导师。本科生将对研究生研究的内容有所了解，并对他们最终可能感兴趣的研究领域有一个国际视角。教师参加者将了解东亚国家的学士学位教育文化，并学习材料科学与工程领域的知识。该奖项是在美国国家科学基金会的AWARE（美国劳动力和研究与教育）项目下颁发的。21世纪的挑战需要一批受过广泛教育的科学和工程专业毕业生的新干部，他们准备好有效地为需要多学科、团队和全球方法的困难技术问题做出贡献。这个材料教育项目的基本主题是结构和性能在长度尺度上的相关性，这对材料的用户和开发商至关重要。定量微观结构表征技术的最新发展，性能实时测试的方法，以及合成和加工材料的新方法，允许微观结构控制，为经济有效地设计具有所需电子，磁性，机械和光学性能的材料提供了独特的机会。此外，计算机技术的进步使建模和模拟过程条件成为可能，并允许对与属性直接相关的结构进行预测和模拟。参与者将对各种材料及其应用进行研究，重点关注在纳米、中观、微观和宏观长度尺度上连接和关联材料性能与结构的共同主题。

0224929ThadhaniThis award supports a three-year collaborative international research experience program for faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students and science teachers to conduct research in the multi-disciplinary field of materials science and engineering at sites in Japan, Korea, China and Hong Kong. The principal investigator for the project is Naresh Thadhani at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Five faculty/student/teacher groups will be participating each year. The teachers will be selected from Atlanta area high schools. The program will provide the opportunity for students to experience hands-on participation in materials research for up to eight weeks during the summer months. The research projects will be designed in a manner that allows promotion of research interactions between faculty from both the U.S. and the East Asian countries while ensuring that there are specific benefits for each of the team members in addition to their gaining an international research experience. The graduate students will be able to enhance the quality and/or scope of their thesis work while also learning to be mentors. The undergraduate students will gain a sense of what graduate research is about, and an international perspective to the field of research that they may eventually become interested in. The teacher participants will become knowledgeable with the culture of baccalaureate education in East Asian countries and also learn about the field of materials science and engineering. This award is made under NSF's AWARE (American Workforce and Research and Education) program. The challenges of the twenty-first century require a new cadre of graduates in science and engineering who are broadly educated and are ready to effectively contribute to difficult technological problems requiring a multi-disciplinary, teamed, and global approach. This materials education project, with an underlying theme of structure and properties correlation across length scales, is of vital importance to users as well as developers of materials. Recent developments in quantitative microstructural characterization techniques, approaches for real-time testing of properties, and novel methods for synthesizing and processing materials, allowing microstructural control, provide a unique opportunity to cost-effectively design materials with desired electronic, magnetic, mechanical and optical properties. In addition advancements in computer technology make it possible to model and simulate process conditions and allow predictions and simulations of structures that are directly linked to properties. The participants will undertake studies of various materials and their applications, focusing on the common theme of linking and correlating material properties with structure across nano-, meso-, micro- and macro-length scales.
