IGERT: Nanostructured Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion

这一综合性研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖项支持佐治亚理工学院进一步发展用于能量储存和转换的纳米结构材料教育和研究的多学科研究生培训计划。智力优势：该项目的目的是为博士生提供进行能源科学、技术和政策研究所需的多学科技能方面的强化培训。IGERT培训旨在解决所需技术开发的所有阶段，从材料开始，到设备制造，再到设备与系统的集成，以及能源政策和经济可能如何影响这些阶段的每个阶段，从而影响新能源解决方案的进步和采用。更广泛的影响：该计划将通过对替代技术的复杂技术认识，提高对能源选择和政策制定的经济学知识。邻近HBCU的教授和学生将参与IGERT？S的研究和教育活动。该方案的一个必要组成部分是一套四门课程；首先是入门研讨会课程，然后是一套旨在为参与者提供政策和技术方面的跨学科培训的课程。接下来将是一套工作室课程，旨在由学生团队调查和解决能源和能源政策领域的问题。国际合作、行业和国家实验室实习以及个人发展研讨会将有助于培养有道德、负责任和有能力的未来领导者。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的项目，旨在应对培养具有跨学科背景、所选学科的深厚知识以及满足未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports the further development of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research in Nanostructured Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Intellectual Merit: The purpose of this program is to provide doctoral students with enhanced multidisciplinary training in the skills required for conducting research in energy science, technology and policy. This IGERT training aims to address all the stages of needed technological developments, starting from materials, to the fabrication of devices, to the integration of devices into systems, and how energy policy and economics may impact each of these stages, thus affecting the advancement and adoption of new energy solutions. Broader Impacts: The program will advance knowledge of the economics of energy choices and policy development with sophisticated technical awareness of alternative technologies. Professors and students from neighboring HBCUs will be involved in the IGERT?s research and educational activities. A required component of the program is a set of four courses; first is an introductory seminar course, followed by a set of courses designed to provide participants with cross-disciplinary training in policy and technology. Next will be a set of studio courses designed to investigate and solve problems in the area of energy and energy policy by teams of students. International collaborations, industrial and national laboratory internships, and personal development seminars will help to create ethical, responsible and capable leaders of the future. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.
