Program Description and
Objectives
The Advanced Materials Science and Technology
Workshop is designed to introduced and/or expand
Florida teachers' knowledge of materials science concepts
and applications. An important goal of these workshops
is to elicit interest and excitement in the field
among the teachers in a manner that will enable them
to use their experience in their classrooms. The workshops
included an introduction to the fundamentals of materials
Science and Engineering as well as presentations in
each of the content areas: i.e., ceramics, metals,
polymers, and electronic materials. These sessions
were followed by a series of curriculum development
activities. In order to monitor the success of the
workshops, evaluation instruments were administered
for each of the content areas as well as at the end
of each week's activities.
