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

寻求支持的差旅费和注册费为受邀演讲者，本科生，研究生，博士后，和代表不足，女性和初级教师出席并出席研讨会BI 1：今天的材料科学教学：在秋季材料研究学会（MRS）全国会议的挑战和进展在波士顿，马，2016年11月28日至30日。在本次研讨会为期两天的口头和海报会议和讨论中，重点将是提高材料科学本科生和研究生教育的有效性。该教程将鼓励研究生，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。本次研讨会讨论的主题，即：课程和课程开发;主动学习和学生参与;基于研究的教学举措和主动学习口语;计算机的使用;数据，分析和模拟;伦理，多样性和全球问题;外展;教学方法;实验室：动手实践是非常相关的，需要做出重大努力，以确保在这一关键领域取得进展。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.
