ARCHIVED INFORMATION— 2014 Posters
5th North American
Materials Education Symposium
Like the talks, the poster sessions allow educators to share ideas and resources for materials-related teaching. There is no restriction based on particular approaches or the use of any particular resources, but there will be an emphasis on the event themes
- Main theme: Materials and Sustainable Development Education
- Sub-theme 1: Materials Across Disciplines
- Sub-theme 2: Teaching Materials and Sustainable Development
Posters displaying student work would be welcome. Key suggested themes: Campus sustainability; Team projects; Education.
Presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute overview of their work to all delegates during the 'Poster Teaser' sessions. If your poster is accepted, you are also welcome to attend the Presenters' Dinner.
