They are trained in chemistry but are applying it to a variety of areas of interdisciplinary research. The two most common of these are biomedical science and materials and solid-state science and engineering. ICE's Chemistry and Materials Science workshop provides a background in one of these major areas. One of the main reasons we are so interested in this workshop is that it will help teachers bring their students better knowledge of the kinds of careers and work that require a good chemistry background. And it will provide teachers with interesting, relevant examples and materials that will be immediately useful in classrooms and laboratories.
Suggestions are welcome at any time.
