Materials Research Science and Engineering Center on Structured Interfaces @ University of Wisconsin-Madison
The UW-Madison MRSEC's Interdisciplinary Education Group (IEG) uses the theme of "Exploring the Nanoworld" to conduct formal and informal science education through the development and dissemination of kits; authorship of journal publications; creation and dissemination of in-depth, highly-visual instructional resources on the web; development of museum exhibit and program prototypes; presentations and demonstrations of innovative instructional materials at conferences and workshops for K-12 and college educators; and contributions to popular publications and media. We work to enhance understanding of science and engineering by creating new instructional materials based on current advances in materials research and nanoscale science and engineering (NSE).
