NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The University of Florida (UF) and Materials Research Society (MRS) are conducting a half-day introductory workshop on a newly developed freshman course entitled "The Impact of Materials on Society (IMOS)". The workshop is being held July 16, 2016 for attendees at the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) Summer Meeting in Sacramento, California. The funds support scholarships for up to 30 participants, expenses for the workshop facilitators and the room configuration. Participants are primarily representatives from the two-year college systems who would like to learn more about the IMOS course and are considering piloting this course at their institutions.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The goal of this workshop is to introduce a course entitled, "The Impact of Materials on Society" to instructors at primarily two-year college institutions. The course is designed to increase the social literacy of engineers and the technical literacy of non-engineers by exploring how engineering and society are interrelated. All of the materials for the course were developed through other government grants. The workshop leverages the participants who are already traveling to the meeting for technical purposes and so their travel expenses are covered. This workshop would give faculty intrigued by the initial information about the IMOS course, the opportunity to better understand implementation strategies and the curriculum materials. The half-day workshop at an AAPT meeting will introduce the course design, the newly completed curriculum materials and evaluation tools to potential pilot institutions, in order to broaden the impact of the course and to collect additional data on how social and scientific literacies can be taught to diverse student groups.

非技术描述：佛罗里达大学（UF）和材料研究协会（MRS）正在就新开发的新生课程“材料对社会的影响（IMOS）”进行为期半天的介绍性研讨会。该研讨会将于2016年7月16日在加州萨克拉门托举行的美国物理教师协会（AAPT）夏季会议上举行。这笔资金支持最多30名参与者的奖学金，以及研讨会主持人和房间配置的费用。参与者主要是来自两年制大学系统的代表，他们希望更多地了解国际海事组织课程，并正在考虑在他们的机构试点这门课程。技术描述：本次研讨会的目标是向主要是两年制大学的讲师介绍一门名为“材料对社会的影响”的课程。本课程旨在通过探索工程与社会的相互关系来提高工程师的社会素养和非工程师的技术素养。该课程的所有材料都是通过其他政府赠款开发的。该研讨会利用了已经为技术目的前往会议的参与者，因此他们的旅行费用被覆盖。这个讲习班将使对国际海事组织课程的初步资料感兴趣的教员有机会更好地了解执行战略和课程材料。在AAPT会议上举行的为期半天的研讨会将向潜在的试点机构介绍课程设计、新完成的课程材料和评估工具，以扩大课程的影响，并收集有关如何向不同学生群体教授社会和科学素养的额外数据。
