项目摘要

This award supports a two-day conference to focus national attention on current issues in graduate education in physics. The conference is organized jointly by the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers. The conference will take place at the American Center for Physics in College Park, MD in January 2013, and will bring together about 100 participants including those in a position to implement changes and those in a position to provide informed recommendations for change. The conference is motivated partly by the success of the first conference on graduate education in physics in January 2008. The topics to be discussed at the conference include curriculum; exam/exam structure; climate and diversity; admissions; advising and mentoring; non-academic careers; developing "soft" skills including oral and written communication; team building and leadership; multi-disciplinary coursework and degrees; outcome assessment of graduate programs; and shaping a holistic and effective graduate education experience. The conference will continue the conversation started four years ago and give the physics community an opportunity to brainstorm ideas about graduate education so that graduate programs in physics can continuously improve to maintain their world class excellence. In addition, the conference will provide a forum to learn about the progress made in various graduate programs since the first conference and find ways to identify, adapt, and implement best practices within local constraints.

该奖项支持为期两天的会议，以集中全国对当前物理学研究生教育问题的关注。这次会议由美国物理学会和美国物理教师协会联合举办。会议将于2013年1月在马里兰州大学公园的美国物理中心举行，将有大约100名与会者参加，其中包括那些能够实施变革的人，以及那些能够提供明智的变革建议的人。这次会议的部分动机是2008年1月第一届物理学研究生教育会议的成功。会议将讨论的主题包括：课程；考试/考试结构；气候和多样性；招生；建议和指导；非学术职业；发展包括口头和书面交流在内的“软”技能；团队建设和领导力；多学科课程和学位；研究生课程的结果评估；以及形成全面和有效的研究生教育体验。这次会议将延续四年前开始的对话，让物理学界有机会集思广益，讨论研究生教育的想法，以便物理学研究生项目能够不断改进，保持其世界级的卓越水平。此外，会议将提供一个论坛，以了解自第一次会议以来在各种研究生项目方面取得的进展，并找到在当地限制范围内确定、调整和实施最佳做法的方法。
