Today's Teaching and Learning in Materials Science - Challenges and Advances

为受邀的演讲者、本科生、研究生、博士后以及代表不足的女性和初级教职员工出席并在2016年11月28-30日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的秋季材料研究学会(MRS)全国会议上举行的研讨会BI1：今天材料科学的教与学：挑战和进展寻求支持和注册费。在本次研讨会为期两天的口头、海报和讨论中，重点将放在提高材料科学本科生和研究生教育的效率上。该教程将鼓励研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教师的参与，特别是来自代表性不足群体的参与。本次研讨会讨论的主题是：课程设置和课程开发；主动学习和学生参与；研究型教学倡议和主动学习口语；计算机的使用；数据、分析和模拟；伦理、多样性和全球问题；外联；具有挑战性的教学方法；实验室：动手形式非常相关，需要做出重大努力以确保在这一关键领域取得进展。MRS会议为这种交流提供了理想的环境，因为它健康地融合了STEM研究和教育的所有方面。

Support is sought for travel and registration fees for invited speakers, undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, and under-represented, female and junior faculty to attend and present at the Symposium BI1: Today Teaching and Learning in Materials Science: Challenges and Advances at the Fall Materials Research Society (MRS) National Meeting in Boston, MA, November 28-30, 2016. Throughout the two-days oral and poster sessions and discussions held in this symposium, the focus will be on improving the efficacy of undergraduate and graduate student education in materials science. The tutorial will encourage the participation of graduate students, postdoc researchers, and junior faculty, especially from the under-represented groups. The topics addressed in this Symposium, namely: Curriculum and Course Development; Active Learning and Student Engagement; Research Based Teaching Initiatives and Active Learning Oral; Use of Computers; Data, Analysis and Simulations; Ethics, Diversity and Global Issues; Outreach; Challenging Approaches to Instruction; Laboratory: hands-on Formats are very relevant and require major efforts to insure progress in this critical field. MRS meetings provide an ideal setting for such interchange because of its healthy melding of all aspects of STEM research and education.
