2022 CONFERENCE: A Workshop on Undergraduate Research for Faculty in Glass Science and Engineering (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

本次研讨会由三个程序支持：凝聚态物理（CMP），金属和金属纳米结构（MMN），和陶瓷（CER）.非技术描述：这个为期多天的研讨会在2022年5月用于鼓励教师谁与本科生合作进行玻璃科学和工程研究.最佳实践进行了讨论，包括什么是合适的项目，资助机会和写作提案，与R-1机构合作，以及如何最好地与本科生在夏季和学年进行研究。在外地建立一支多样化的工作人员队伍具有很高的价值。因此，多样性和本科研究的各个方面进行了讨论，包括其固有的重要性，招聘不同的学者，鼓励和指导。正在对参加讲习班的教员采取后续行动，以确保加强本科生研究的目标。一个重要的更广泛的影响是，许多科学院的本科生，研究经验，随着时间的推移，不断进入研究生院和行业在该领域的速度接近75%。一般来说，鼓励本科生从事高水平研究的一个关键因素是参与可持续研究。这个研讨会，在科学院，涉及20名教师谁是玻璃科学和工程专业的本科生工作。该研讨会由教授Feller和Affatigato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名从事可持续研究的学生进入工业和研究生院领域的比例约为75%。这种影响在增加多样性的同时发生。研讨会的参与者受益于演讲者100多年的实践经验。活动的一个转型方面是有一个庞大的教师队伍几何增加学生参与该领域在本科层次的倍增效应。在美国陶瓷协会、爱荷华州玻璃会议和国际玻璃大会上的演讲记录了这些努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
