Materials Education: Opportunities Over a
Lifetime
James J. Wynne
The Federation of Materials Societies and the University Materials
Council are sponsoring a meeting on "Materials Education: Opportunities
Over a Lifetime," to be held May 20-21, 2002, at the University
of Maryland Conference Center, College Park, MD. The purpose of this
two-day meeting is to promote a thorough interchange of beneficial
ideas and practices in materials science and engineering education
among concerned citizens, professional educators, and funders/policy
makers at the grass roots, K-12, and college/university levels. The
organizers want all groups involved in materials education to learn
about the possibilities for parallel activities and collaboration.
The meeting will feature invited talks, poster session displays, and
roundtable discussions. Posters and table displays are being solicited
from professional societies, government organizations, non-profit educational
organizations and foundations, educational institutions and individuals
interested in distributing information on Materials Education.
