Introducing Science Faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to Materials Science and Engineering

9976488Acoff冶金和材料工程系在塔斯卡卢萨的大学建立了一个夏季计划的教师和教育工作者在数学和物理科学从历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）。 为期一个月的课程的目标是通过教授让少数民族学生熟悉材料科学和工程领域。 该计划是在戈登会议风格组织，包括传统和非传统类与动手实验室和计算机活动和参观工业材料厂相结合.该计划允许HBCU教师将材料科学和工程的各个方面纳入他们的数学和物理科学课程. 它还使他们能够告知他们的当前和未来的学生有关材料的学科，并使他们意识到就业和研究生院的机会在该领域。 该奖项由多学科活动办公室和数学和物理科学理事会材料研究部支持。

9976488AcoffThe Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa establishes a summer program for faculty and educators in the mathematical and physical sciences from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The goal of the one-month program is to acquaint minority students, through their professors, with the field of materials science and engineering. The program is organized in a Gordon conference style, and includes traditional and non-traditional classes with a combination of hands-on laboratory and computer activities and visits to industrial materials plants.The program allows HBCU faculty to incorporate various aspects of materials science and engineering into their mathematical and physical science courses. It also allows them to inform their current and future students about the discipline of materials and to make them aware of employment and graduate school opportunities in the field. This award is supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities and by the Division of Materials Research of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
