The Materials Education Symposium

CALL FOR SPEAKERS: Abstract deadline Sep 30. Details >>>

Cambridge University

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

2011 Symposium: April 7-8, 2011

Short Courses: April 5-6, 2011

The 2011 event will be the third year of what is becoming one of the world's largest events dedicated to materials and process education. Educators from 20 countries attended the 2010 event (details below) and provided very positive feedback that has encouraged us to grow the event. The 2011 Symposium will be extended to two days and organized in collaboration with an Advisory Committee of academics drawn from leading universities and materials organizations.

The Symposium will again be based around presentations by materials educators at leading universities. Talks will be relevant to topics including materials science, manufacturing and processes, mechanical engineering, industrial design, aerospace and nuclear engineering, bio engineering, plastics, and sustainable engineering. Speakers will describe their approaches to materials teaching, and their use of teaching resources including, but not limited to, CES EduPack. Discussion sessions, networking opportunities, a poster session, and a social program will make the event interactive, with plenty of opportunities to meet people and exchange ideas.

On the two days preceding the Symposium, you can attend optional CES EduPack Short Courses. Hosted by Professor Mike Ashby, these demonstrate the use of CES EduPack, the leading teaching resource for materials and processes education, and provide numerous teaching ideas.
