Description
Summary:Preparation of the future materials workforce consistent with major imperatives rooted in integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and the materials genome initiative (MGI) is most effectively pursued within the vision of a materials innovation ecosystem that spans across conventional engineering, science, and computing disciplines. The ICME foundation integrates principles of materials science with computational methods, including increasing reliance on modern data science methods that are savvy to digital information that recognizes hierarchical material structure and the need for correlative relations for process-structure and structure-property relations. We consider gaps in academic research and education programs related to systems engineering, uncertainty quantification of both experiments and computation, and data science methods. Barriers to the introduction of materials data science are discussed, as well as opportunities for innovation in educating the future MGI and ICME workforce.
