Symposium EEE: Towards a lab-to-classroom Initiative; San Francisco, CA; Spring 2013

这项提议为在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的2013年材料研究学会春季会议上的创新教育研讨会提供了支持，题为“建立实验室到课堂的倡议”。本次研讨会的与会者将讨论将新研究方法的发展与新材料发现的加速步伐与缓慢发展的教科书和课程同步带来的挑战。最近，奥巴马总统宣布了材料基因组倡议(MGI)，该计划特别支持通过计算科学和实验设计的合作来开发材料。这两者的结合需要具有跨学科技能的研究人员，这次在旧金山举行的2013年教育研讨会材料研究会春季会议将探索为MGI培养未来科学家和工程师的新方法。

This proposal provides support for an innovative education symposium at the 2013 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Franciso, CA entitled "Towards a lab to classroom Initiative". Participants in this symposium will discuss challenges associated with bringing in sync the development of new research methodologies and an accelerated pace of new materials discoveries with slower evolving textbooks and curricula.Recently, President Obama announced the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and this program specifically champions the development of materials through the collaboration of computational science and experimental design. The marriage of these two requires researchers with cross-disciplinary skills, and this educational symposium 2013 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Franciso will explore new methods for the training of future scientists and engineers for the MGI.
