Symposium EEE: Towards a lab-to-classroom Initiative; San Francisco, CA; Spring 2013

该提案为2013年材料研究学会春季会议在旧金山举行的创新教育研讨会提供了支持，该会议名为“从实验室到课堂倡议”。本次研讨会的与会者将讨论如何将新研究方法的发展和新材料的发现与缓慢发展的教科书和课程同步起来所面临的挑战。最近，奥巴马总统宣布了材料基因组计划（MGI），该计划特别支持通过计算科学和实验设计的合作来开发材料。这两者的结合需要具有跨学科技能的研究人员，在旧金山举行的2013年材料研究学会春季会议的教育研讨会将探索为MGI培训未来科学家和工程师的新方法。

This proposal provides support for an innovative education symposium at the 2013 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Franciso, CA entitled "Towards a lab to classroom Initiative". Participants in this symposium will discuss challenges associated with bringing in sync the development of new research methodologies and an accelerated pace of new materials discoveries with slower evolving textbooks and curricula.Recently, President Obama announced the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and this program specifically champions the development of materials through the collaboration of computational science and experimental design. The marriage of these two requires researchers with cross-disciplinary skills, and this educational symposium 2013 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Franciso will explore new methods for the training of future scientists and engineers for the MGI.
