Planning Proposal for Establishing an I/UCRC for Computational Materials Design (CCMD)

由宾夕法尼亚州立大学和格鲁吉亚理工大学联合提出的计算材料设计工业/大学合作研究中心，旨在通过促进工业和大学感兴趣的研究计划，对基于系统的材料设计的进展产生实质性影响，以加强全国计算材料研究的基础设施，探索和扩展工程系统设计之间的接口，信息技术和物理为基础的模拟材料的过程结构和结构性能关系，以提高劳动力的智力通过工业参与和高质量的研究项目的行为，并制定在材料的计算和系统设计方面的课程。 这将通过在工业、大学和其他组织之间建立长期伙伴关系来实现。

The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Computational Materials Design jointly proposed by Penn State and Georgia Tech, aims to substantially impact progress towards systems-based materials design by promoting research programs of interest to both industry and universities, to enhance the infrastructure of computational materials research in the nation, to explore and extend the interface between engineering systems design, information technology and physics-based simulation of process-structure and structure-property relations of materials, to improve the intellectual capacity of the workforce through industrial participation and conduct of high quality research projects, and to develop curriculum in computational and systems design aspects of materials. This will be achieved by developing long-term partnerships among industry, university and other organizations.
