Workshop on the Role of Geotechnical Physical Modelling in Education, July 9, 2002; St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada

CMS-0226453 PI：Deborah Goodings机构：马里兰大学职位：“关于岩土工程物理模型在教育中的作用的研讨会的资助申请“NSF的资金将用于资助一个为期一天的关于岩土工程物理模型在教育中的作用的研讨会，该研讨会将于2002年7月9日星期二举行，在圣约翰举行的岩土工程物理模型国际会议之前举行，加拿大纽芬兰。 研讨会将由Deborah J. Goodings（PI，马里兰州大学教授）和Ryan菲利普斯博士（加拿大纪念大学高级关键人员、岩土工程总监和副教授）组织。 该研讨会的目标是教育与会者的机会，以整合物理建模研究，因为它是在K-12水平的教育进行，在本科层次的教育，并与越来越多的覆盖到研究生水平的教育。 该研讨会是相关的教育工作者与建模设施在他们的家庭机构，以及那些没有建模设施，它将提供一个极好的和及时的机会，教师，学者和潜在的雇主考虑在教育中的岩土物理建模的作用。 在NSF的支持下，研讨会可以免费向任何与会者开放。 此外，还将为美国大学的高年级研究生和初级教师提供旅费补贴，以参加讲习班，并特别注意鼓励妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体参加。

CMS-0226453PI: Deborah GoodingsInstitution: University of MarylandTitle: "Subsidy Request for Workshop on the Role of Geotechnical Physical Modeling in Education"NSF funding will be used to subsidize a one-day Workshop on the Role of Geotechnical Physical Modelling in Education, to be held on Tuesday, July 9, 2002, to precede the International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. The Workshop will be organised by: Deborah J. Goodings (PI, and Professor at the University of Maryland) and Dr. Ryan Phillips (Senior Key Personnel, and Geotechnical Director and Associate Professor at Memorial University, Canada). The goal of the Workshop is to educate attendees on the opportunities to integrate physical modelling research as it is conducted into education at the K-12 level, into education at the undergraduate level, and with increasing coverage into graduate level education. The workshop is relevant to educators with modelling facilities in their home institutions, as well as to those without modelling facilities, and it will provide an excellent and timely opportunity for teachers, academics, and potential employers to consider the role of geotechnical physical modelling in education. With NSF support, the workshop can be open to any attendee without charge. In addition, travel subsidies will be provided to senior graduate students and junior faculty from US universities to attend the Workshop, with particular attention to encouraging women and underrepresented minorities to attend.
