Topic Title: Material Science and Sustainability
Meeting description:
Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. We all interact with and depend on materials every day. Where do the materials come from? How do materials get processed and transported around the world? What happens after we are done with products? How does what we use, eat, wear, drive, buy, throw out, etc. affect the world around us? This workshop will provide an overview on how we can get students to engage in these questions and plan for our environment in the future.
The presenter is Sherri Conn Rukes. She has taught high school over 28 years and conducted material science research at Northwestern University. Sherri is a past president of AACT and is a Master Teacher for the ASM Materials Education Foundation.
