A Workshop on 'New Directions in Materials Design Science and Engineering'; Atlanta, Georgia; October 19-23, 1998

小行星9713569 完善材料设计科学与工程的愿景 (MDS&（E），发展对其完整性的共同理解，并制定出在广泛的材料教育和研究界追求它所必需的概念路线图，格鲁吉亚理工学院材料理事会将与莫尔豪斯学院的材料系合作，于1998年秋季在亚特兰大举行一次研讨会。 讲习班的主要目标是确定MDS E对国家教育和研究事业的关键问题和潜在影响，包括障碍和机会，并确定后续讲习班的具体领域。 该研讨会在四个主题中的每一个主题中都有主题演讲者和小组讨论：跨长度尺度的结构-性能关系，材料合成与设计，工艺设计科学与工程的要素以及多学科材料教育。 每个主题的杰出演讲者和小组成员来自广泛的科学和工程学科。 研讨会将产生一份报告，概述MDS E的细化愿景，确定关键挑战和机遇。 该补助金由数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室提供资金。 该研讨会通过研究该领域的预期需求和影响，为未来材料研究和开发提供了方向。

9713569 McDowell To refine the vision of Materials Design Science and Engineering (MDS&E), develop a common understanding of its fullness, and chart out a conceptual roadmap necessary to pursue it within the broad materials education and research community, the Materials Council of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the materials faculty at Morehouse College, will hold a workshop in the fall of 1998 in Atlanta . The primary objectives of the workshop are to identify the critical issues and potential impact of MDS&E on the nationOs educational and research enterprise, both obstacles and opportunities, and to identify specific areas for follow-on workshops. The workshop engages keynote speakers and panel discussions in each of four themes: Structure-Property Relations across Length Scales, Materials Synthesis and Design, Elements of Process Design Science and Engineering, and Multidisciplinary Materials Education. The distinguished speakers and panelists in each theme are drawn from a broad range of science and engineering disciplines. A report outlining a refined vision of MDS&E that identifies key challenges and opportunities will result from the workshop. This grant is funded by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. %%% The workshop contributes to the directions that should be taken in future materials research and development by examining anticipated needs and impact in the field.
