This workshop is supported by three programs: Condensed Matter Physics (CMP), Metals and Metallic Nanostructures (MMN), and Ceramics (CER).NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This multiday workshop in May 2022 serves to encourage faculty who work with undergraduates to conduct research in glass science and engineering. Best practices are discussed and include what are suitable projects, funding opportunities and writing proposals, collaborating with R-1 institutions, and how research is best carried out with undergraduate students in the summer and in the academic year. Building a diverse workforce in the field has high value. Thus, various aspects of diversity and undergraduate research are discussed including its inherent importance, recruitment of diverse scholars, and encouragement and mentoring. Follow-up with the faculty members participating in the workshop is taking place to ensure that the goals of undergraduate research are being reinforced. One important broader impact is that many Coe College undergraduate students, with research experience, consistently over time enter graduate school and industry in the field at rates approaching 75%.TECHNICAL DETAILS: There is a documented need for more glass scientists and engineers. A key element that encourages undergraduate students, in general, to engage at a high level is involvement in publishable research. This workshop, at Coe College, involves twenty faculty who are working with undergraduates in glass science and engineering. The workshop is led by Professors Feller and Affatigato and several nationally known experts in research with undergraduate students and diversity. At Coe College, nearly 400 students who perform publishable research enter the field in industry and graduate school at about the 75% level. This impact occurs while simultaneously increasing diversity. Workshop participants are benefitting from well over 100 years of hands-on experiences by the presenters. A transformational aspect of the activity is the multiplicative effect of having a large cadre of faculty geometrically increasing student involvement in the field at the undergraduate level. Documentation of these efforts take place by presentations at meetings of the American Ceramic Society, the Iowa Glass Conference, and the International Congress on Glass.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研讨会由三个项目支持：凝聚态物理 (CMP)、金属和金属纳米结构 (MMN) 以及陶瓷 (CER)。 非技术说明：这个为期 2022 年 5 月的多日研讨会旨在鼓励与本科生一起开展玻璃科学和工程研究的教师。讨论了最佳实践，包括什么是合适的项目、资助机会和撰写提案、与 R-1 机构合作，以及如何在夏季和学年最好地与本科生一起开展研究。在该领域建立一支多元化的员工队伍具有很高的价值。因此，讨论了多样性和本科生研究的各个方面，包括其固有的重要性、招募多元化学者以及鼓励和指导。正在对参加研讨会的教职员工进行跟踪，以确保本科生研究的目标得到加强。一个更重要、更广泛的影响是，许多具有研究经验的科学院本科生，随着时间的推移，进入研究生院和该领域的工业界的比率接近 75%。 技术细节：有记录表明需要更多的玻璃科学家和工程师。一般来说，鼓励本科生参与高水平的一个关键因素是参与可发表的研究。这个研讨会在科学院举行，有 20 名与玻璃科学与工程本科生一起工作的教员参加。该研讨会由 Feller 和 Affatigato 教授以及几位全国知名的本科生和多样性研究专家领导。在科学院，近 400 名从事可发表研究的学生进入工业界和研究生院，其中约 75% 的水平。这种影响是在增加多样性的同时发生的。研讨会参与者将从演讲者 100 多年的实践经验中受益。这项活动的一个变革性方面是，拥有一大批教师骨干，可以几何级数地增加本科生对该领域的参与，从而产生倍增效应。这些努力的记录通过在美国陶瓷学会、爱荷华州玻璃会议和国际玻璃大会的会议上的演示形式进行。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
