Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD) and Its Education Vision

摘要

Recently, the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD) was established through a joint effort between The Pennsylvania State University and Georgia Institute of Technology. Collaboration between the university participants and the Center's members from industry and government laboratories will accelerate the transfer of research results into applied technology. With the paradigm of materials research and development shifting from experimentally-based investigations to integrated computational-prediction, systems design and experimental-validation approaches, computational modeling and simulation are becoming key technologies to support materials design and development in both academia and industry. The key mission of the Center is to educate the next generation of scientists and engineers with a broad, industrially-relevant perspective on engineering research and practice, preparing them to contribute in the emerging field of materials design through long-term interactions with member organizations.
