Materials Research Society (MRS) holds two meetings (the Fall meeting in December and the Spring meeting in April) each year. These meetings are attended by a large number (about 6,000 or more) of materials researchers and educators. Since 1996, nine Materials Education related symposia have been held at MRS meetings. These symposia have become a major forum where materials educators present results of innovative curriculum development, the use of new educational and pedagogical methods, lab and multimedia modules; discuss important current issues; and exchange ideas pertaining to Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) education. The topics discussed in these meetings have also included increasing the public awareness and understanding of materials, and outreach methods. The Fall 2007 MRS meeting will be held in Boston from November 26-30, 2007. The ?Forum on MSE Education for 2020? at this meeting will consist of invited and contributed presentations on current Materials Education related activities and two panel sessions. Invited speakers and participants include faculty from high school, community colleges, and undergraduate and graduate institutions as well as science museum directors. The organizers will strive to have a diverse set of speakers from around the world. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The topics for discussion in this forum include several key issues concerning materials science education: (i) novel undergraduate and graduate curricula and courses, (ii) outcomes from selected NSF programs, (iii) approaches for increasing diversity in MSE programs, (iv) outreach through Nanoscale Informal Science education Network and other opportunities, (v) integration of cyber infrastructure, digital libraries and e-science, and (vi) international activities. Panel sessions planned will focus on ?Building infrastructure to support education initiatives,? and ?Addressing 'pipeline' issues through informal and K-12 science education.?

材料研究学会（MRS）每年举行两次会议（12 月秋季会议和 4 月春季会议）。 这些会议有大量（约 6,000 人或更多）材料研究人员和教育工作者参加。自1996年以来，MRS会议上已举办了九次与材料教育相关的研讨会。 这些研讨会已成为材料教育工作者展示创新课程开发成果、新教育和教学方法、实验室和多媒体模块的使用的主要论坛；讨论当前的重要问题；并交流有关材料科学与工程（MSE）教育的想法。 这些会议讨论的主题还包括提高公众对材料和推广方法的认识和理解。 2007 年秋季 MRS 会议将于 2007 年 11 月 26 日至 30 日在波士顿举行。“2020 年 MSE 教育论坛”本次会议将包括有关当前材料教育相关活动的受邀演讲和贡献演讲以及两场小组会议。受邀演讲者和参与者包括来自高中、社区学院、本科生和研究生机构的教师以及科学博物馆馆长。 组织者将努力邀请来自世界各地的多元化演讲者。技术细节：本次论坛讨论的主题包括有关材料科学教育的几个关键问题：(i) 新颖的本科生和研究生课程和课程，(ii) 选定的 NSF 项目的成果，(iii) 增加 MSE 项目多样性的方法，(iv) 通过纳米非正式科学教育网络和其他机会进行推广，(v) 网络基础设施、数字图书馆和电子科学的整合，以及 (六) 国际活动。计划举行的小组会议将重点关注“建设基础设施以支持教育举措”。 ？通过非正式和K-12科学教育解决“管道”问题。
