Symposium PP: Materials Education-Marni Goldman Memorial Symposium; Boston, MA; November 30 - December 4, 2009

该奖项为PP研讨会：材料教育提供支持，并在11月30日秋季材料研究学会(MRS)会议上向Marni Goldman特别致敬。2009年12月4日。材料研究学会将利用NSF的支持来支付那些通常不会参加这样的会议的参与者的旅费，例如学生和教育和外联工作人员。MRS教育研讨会将讨论三个主要主题：交叉问题，其中将包括关于评估和评估、探究式学习和补助金发展的小组会议；课程发展和教育学-公共推广、K-12、本科生和研究生水平；以及Marni Goldman纪念会议，将重点关注残疾人。智力价值材料教育研讨会预计将增进对所有级别材料教育至关重要的交叉问题的认识和理解。这次研讨会将受益于与MRS相关的活动：MRSEC和NSEC教育协调员年度会议，纳米级非正式科学教育网络(NISE NET)，以及MRS公共外联委员会活动。广泛影响会议的一个主要目标是增加材料研究社区的能力，以扩大他们的研究影响。这次研讨会的重点将是扩大代表不足群体，特别是残疾人的参与。

This award provides support for Symposium PP: Materials Education and a special tribute session to Marni Goldman at the Fall Materials Research Society (MRS) Meeting, Nov. 30 ? Dec. 4, 2009. Materials Research Society will use NSF support to defray travel expenses of participants who might not ordinarily attend such a meeting, such as students and education and outreach staff. The MRS education symposium will address three major topics: Crosscutting Issues, which will include panel sessions on evaluation and assessment, inquiry based learning, and grant development; Curriculum Development and Pedagogy - Public outreach, K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels; and, the Marni Goldman Memorial Session which will focus on persons with disabilities.Intellectual MeritThe Materials Education symposium is expected to advance knowledge and understanding on cross-cutting issues critical to all levels of materials education. This symposium will benefit from concomitant events around the MRS: the annual meeting of MRSEC and NSEC Education Coordinators, Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net), and MRS Public Outreach Committee events.Broader ImpactsA primary objective of the meeting is to increase capacity of the materials research community to broaden the impact of their research. This symposium will focus on broadening participation of underrepresented groups, in particular those with disabilities.
