NRT-DESE: Data-Enabled Discovery and Design of Energy Materials

数据驱动的能源材料发现和设计(D3EM)加快发现能够实现变革性技术的新材料是改变国家-S能源格局的需要。这一国家科学基金会研究培训奖将在德克萨斯农工大学创建并制度化一种新的培训模式，为S硕士和博士生提供在材料科学、信息学和工程设计领域推进研究的技能。培训涉及数据使能的科学和工程研究优先主题，并解决三个主要挑战：1)需要加快材料的发现和开发，特别是与能源相关的技术；2)需要向科学家和工程师灌输将数据转化为知识的能力，并利用这些知识发现和设计先进的材料；以及3)需要教育将跨学科研究过程内在化的科学家和工程师。该项目预计将通过材料科学、设计和信息学的跨学科课程，培养80名S硕士和博士生，其中包括41名资助的实习生，其中包括与能源和创业相关的课程和活动。这次培训将包括来自两所学院和六个系的教师，他们拥有材料科学、工程设计和信息学以及研究生教育和课程开发方面的专业知识。该计划将紧密结合所需的技术和专业技能、课程创新和学习成果。教学模式将包括中介成分、关系成分、情境成分和转化成分。合作将贯穿整个项目，特别是在学习社区、实习和顶石材料设计工作室的发展中。这一培训将使研究生具备必要的知识和经验、跨学科的关注度以及技术和专业技能(包括沟通、协作、领导力)，以便在包括行业、学术界和国家研究实验室在内的一系列职业选择中茁壮成长。它还将使具有创业精神的受训人员掌握必要的知识和经验，以便将他们的研究产生的技术进行部署和商业化。该方案将包含强大的教育研究和严格的评估部分，这将使有效和新颖的方法得到改进，并将培训模式传播到更广泛的研究生教育界。NSF研究培训(NRT)计划旨在鼓励开发和实施大胆的、新的、潜在的变革性和可扩展的STEM研究生教育培训模式。培训路径致力于通过创新的、基于证据的、与不断变化的劳动力和研究需求保持一致的综合培训模式，在高度优先的跨学科研究领域对STEM研究生进行有效培训。

NRT-DESE: Data-Enabled Discovery and Design of Energy Materials (D3EM)Accelerating the discovery of new materials that enable transformative technologies is needed to transform the nation?s energy landscape. This National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) award will create and institutionalize a new training model at Texas A&M University that equips Master?s and doctoral students with the skills to advance research at the interface of materials science, informatics, and engineering design. The traineeship addresses the data-enabled science and engineering research priority theme and tackles three main challenges: 1) the need to accelerate materials discovery and development, particularly in energy-related technologies; 2) the need to instill in scientists and engineers the capability to transform data into knowledge, and use this knowledge to discover and design advanced materials; and 3) the need to educate scientists and engineers who internalize the interdisciplinary research process. The project anticipates preparing eighty (80) master?s and doctoral students, including forty-one (41) funded trainees, through an interdisciplinary curriculum in materials science, design, and informatics enriched with energy and entrepreneurship-related courses and activities. This traineeship will involve faculty from two colleges and six departments with expertise in materials science, engineering design, and informatics as well as in graduate education and curriculum development. The program will closely align the desired technical and professional skills, curriculum innovations, and learning outcomes. The pedagogical model will include mediated, relational, situated and transformative components. Collaboration will be embedded throughout the program, particularly in the development of learning communities, internships, and the capstone Materials Design Studio. This traineeship will equip graduate students with the necessary knowledge and experience, interdisciplinary focus, and technical and professional skills (including communication, collaboration, leadership) to thrive in a range of career options including industry, academia, and national research laboratories. It will also equip entrepreneurship-minded trainees with the knowledge and experience necessary to pursue deployment and commercialization of technologies generated from their research. The program will contain strong education research and rigorous evaluation components, which will enable refinement of effective and novel approaches and dissemination of the training model to the wider graduate education community. The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, potentially transformative, and scalable models for STEM graduate education training. The Traineeship Track is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary research areas, through the comprehensive traineeship model that is innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.
