Today's Teaching and Learning in Materials Science - Challenges and Advances

特邀演讲嘉宾、本科生、研究生、博士后和代表性不足的女性和初级教师参加并出席2016年11月28日至30日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的秋季材料研究学会（MRS）全国会议的研讨会BI1：今天材料科学的教学与学习：挑战与进步，寻求旅费和注册费支持。在本次研讨会为期两天的口头和海报会议以及讨论中，重点将放在提高材料科学本科生和研究生教育的效率上。该指导将鼓励研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教师的参与，特别是来自代表性不足的群体。是次研讨会的主题包括：课程与课程发展；主动学习与学生参与；研究性教学主动性与口语主动学习使用电脑；数据、分析和模拟；伦理、多样性和全球问题；外展;具有挑战性的教学方法；实验室：实践形式是非常相关的，需要付出很大的努力来确保在这个关键领域取得进展。MRS会议为这种交流提供了理想的环境，因为它健康地融合了STEM研究和教育的各个方面。

Support is sought for travel and registration fees for invited speakers, undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, and under-represented, female and junior faculty to attend and present at the Symposium BI1: Today Teaching and Learning in Materials Science: Challenges and Advances at the Fall Materials Research Society (MRS) National Meeting in Boston, MA, November 28-30, 2016. Throughout the two-days oral and poster sessions and discussions held in this symposium, the focus will be on improving the efficacy of undergraduate and graduate student education in materials science. The tutorial will encourage the participation of graduate students, postdoc researchers, and junior faculty, especially from the under-represented groups. The topics addressed in this Symposium, namely: Curriculum and Course Development; Active Learning and Student Engagement; Research Based Teaching Initiatives and Active Learning Oral; Use of Computers; Data, Analysis and Simulations; Ethics, Diversity and Global Issues; Outreach; Challenging Approaches to Instruction; Laboratory: hands-on Formats are very relevant and require major efforts to insure progress in this critical field. MRS meetings provide an ideal setting for such interchange because of its healthy melding of all aspects of STEM research and education.
