| Abstract Scope |
A new form of predictive metallurgy grounded in the CALPHAD database system now known as the Materials Genome has delivered a highly efficient materials design capability rapidly adopted at the frontier of industrial practice. Meanwhile, a dominance of science over engineering and an ensconced experimental culture have stalled the adoption of this powerful technology into our materials education system. Toward an appropriate balance of science and engineering, a novel materials curriculum demonstrated at Northwestern featuring multiyear design education is now being explored in the MIT undergraduate program. |
