CES EduPack Symposium & Courses

Cambridge University

April 1-3, 2009

An event for materials educators in engineering, science, processing and design

This is a new event, offering a great opportunity to share experience, pick up new ideas for teaching, to network with colleagues, and to get training.

Agenda

Join us for the main Symposium on April 3, with the option of dinner on the preceding evening.

Or combine Symposium attendance with your choice of short course, led by Professor Mike Ashby, on the two days before the Symposium.

Something for everyone!

If you are new to CES EduPack, why not begin by joining us for the Introductory CES EduPack Course, led by Professor Mike Ashby, on the afternoon of April 1? Build your knowledge as you stay through the more Advanced Course units on the following day. Finally, find out how EduPack is used to support existing courses and network with other materials educators at the CES EduPack Symposium.

More experienced CES EduPack users may wish to start with Professor Ashby's Advanced Course on April 2, which will help you to advance your knowledge and use of the EduPack resources. Then stay for the Symposium to share your experience and benefit from the experience of others.

Everyone is welcome to simply attend the one-day Symposium on April 3 - it will be packed with ideas for use of CES EduPack and for materials education in general, with talks from materials educators at a wide range of universities, covering many subject areas. You can also participate by presenting a poster.

Make the most of your visit with a social program and poster session to enable networking with colleagues and sampling of the delights of Cambridge in the spring! (Some of the program will be held at St. Catharine's College, in the heart of the university).
