Planning Proposal for Establishing an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD)

由宾夕法尼亚州立大学和佐治亚理工学院联合提出的计算材料设计产学研合作研究中心，旨在通过促进工业界和大学感兴趣的研究项目，实质性地影响基于系统的材料设计的进展，增强国家计算材料研究的基础设施，探索和扩展工程系统设计之间的接口，材料的过程结构和结构属性关系的基于信息技术和物理的模拟，通过工业参与和高质量研究项目的实施来提高劳动力的智力能力，并开发材料的计算和系统设计方面的课程。这将通过在工业界、大学和其他组织之间发展长期伙伴关系来实现。

The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Computational Materials Design jointly proposed by Penn State and Georgia Tech, aims to substantially impact progress towards systems-based materials design by promoting research programs of interest to both industry and universities, to enhance the infrastructure of computational materials research in the nation, to explore and extend the interface between engineering systems design, information technology and physics-based simulation of process-structure and structure-property relations of materials, to improve the intellectual capacity of the workforce through industrial participation and conduct of high quality research projects, and to develop curriculum in computational and systems design aspects of materials. This will be achieved by developing long-term partnerships among industry, university and other organizations.
