Workshop on the Role of Geotechnical Physical Modelling in Education, July 9, 2002; St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada

题目：“岩土物理模型在教育中的作用研讨会的资助申请”美国国家科学基金将用于资助一个为期一天的岩土物理模型在教育中的作用研讨会，该研讨会将于2002年7月9日星期二在加拿大纽芬兰圣约翰举行的岩土物理模型国际会议之前举行。研讨会将由Deborah J. Goodings （PI，马里兰大学教授）和Ryan Phillips博士（加拿大纪念大学高级关键人员，岩土工程总监和副教授）组织。研讨会的目标是教育与会者有机会将物理建模研究整合到K-12水平的教育中，进入本科水平的教育中，并越来越多地覆盖到研究生水平的教育中。是次工作坊既适合在其所属院校设有模型设施的教育工作者，也适合没有模型设施的教育工作者。工作坊将为教师、学者和潜在雇主提供一个绝佳而适时的机会，让他们考虑岩土物理模型在教育中的作用。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，研讨会可以免费向任何与会者开放。此外，将为参加研讨会的美国大学高级研究生和初级教师提供旅费补贴，特别注意鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参加。

CMS-0226453PI: Deborah GoodingsInstitution: University of MarylandTitle: "Subsidy Request for Workshop on the Role of Geotechnical Physical Modeling in Education"NSF funding will be used to subsidize a one-day Workshop on the Role of Geotechnical Physical Modelling in Education, to be held on Tuesday, July 9, 2002, to precede the International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. The Workshop will be organised by: Deborah J. Goodings (PI, and Professor at the University of Maryland) and Dr. Ryan Phillips (Senior Key Personnel, and Geotechnical Director and Associate Professor at Memorial University, Canada). The goal of the Workshop is to educate attendees on the opportunities to integrate physical modelling research as it is conducted into education at the K-12 level, into education at the undergraduate level, and with increasing coverage into graduate level education. The workshop is relevant to educators with modelling facilities in their home institutions, as well as to those without modelling facilities, and it will provide an excellent and timely opportunity for teachers, academics, and potential employers to consider the role of geotechnical physical modelling in education. With NSF support, the workshop can be open to any attendee without charge. In addition, travel subsidies will be provided to senior graduate students and junior faculty from US universities to attend the Workshop, with particular attention to encouraging women and underrepresented minorities to attend.
