Yes I. Overview of the Proposed Program 1. Context. Describe the program’s development, including the LOI process, as well as its proposed administrative and operational organizational structure. RESPONSE: This proposal for an Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (IDGP) in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), offering M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in MSE, was developed by a cross-college faculty task force starting in 2019, building on discussions over several years, and with strong support from the Provost and Chancellor. The task force was appointed by Sanjay Raman, Dean of the College of Engineering, in close consultation with Tricia Serio, Dean of College of Natural Sciences (CNS), and chaired by Ashwin Ramasubramaniam (Professor, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering). The task force consists of faculty from all departments represented in the IDGP, namely, the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Mechanical & Industrial Engineering from the College of Engineering (COE), as well as the Departments of Chemistry and Physics from CNS. The proposed IDGP will offer coursework-based (non-thesis) M.S. degrees, including accelerated 4+1 M.S. degrees, thesis-based M.S. degrees, and Ph.D. degrees in MSE. This interdisciplinary academic program builds on UMass Amherst’s established and recognized strength in materials research (ranked 36th by U.S. News in 20211), bringing together nearly 50 faculty members across COE and CNS. The MSE IDGP will be led by a Program Director who will be a tenured faculty member affiliated with the program, nominated by the MSE IDGP faculty, and appointed by the COE Dean with concurrence of the CNS Dean. A faculty steering committee, consisting of representatives of all participating COE and CNS 1 Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering departments, nominated by the respective Department Heads and appointed by the respective College Deans, will advise the Program Director and exercise oversight of the IDGP. Specifically, the steering committee will oversee the annual program budget, departmental MOUs, and internal degree policies; engage with the external advisory board; and serve as the graduate admissions committee. The responsibilities of the Program Director also will include service in the capacity of Graduate Program Director for the IDGP. The Program Director and steering committee will report directly to the COE Dean. Following an initial strategic investment from the University, it is anticipated that the IDGP will be self- supporting with operational expenses funded from revenues generated by the M.S. and accelerated M.S. (4+1) programs. COE will provide administrative staff support for the program during the startup period. Once the IDGP is administratively and financially sound, administrative support arrangements will be reviewed. 2. Description. Summarize the purpose of the program as it relates to the knowledge and skills will students acquire, and the careers for which graduates will be prepared as described in the approved LOI. RESPONSE: Modeled along the lines of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria,2 the objectives of the MSE IDGP are to prepare graduates to: a. Apply advanced science (such as chemistry, biology, and physics), computational techniques, and engineering principles to materials systems; b. Integrate the understanding of the scientific and engineering principles underlying the four major elements of the field: structure, properties, processing, and performance related to material systems; and c. Apply, integrate, and expand knowledge from each of the above four elements of the field using experimental, computational, and statistical methods to solve materials problems including selection and design, as well as to develop new materials and processes and enable innovative materials technologies. The faculty affiliated with the proposed IDGP have extensive research and teaching expertise in MSE that encompass the four major elements of the field. MSE is already recognized as a major research strength of UMass Amherst (ranked 36th by U.S. News in 20211), with over 30 faculty members in COE with closely aligned research interests, nearly half of whom have been hired within the last seven years, making MSE an area of significant investment and projected growth for the College. More than 20 faculty members in the College of Natural Sciences (CNS) have MSE-aligned research programs. The University has also made significant investments in state-of-the-art shared facilities and research laboratories in the Life Science Laboratories (Institute for Applied Life Sciences), the Physical Sciences Building, and the Conte National Center for Polymer Research. Under the mentorship of MSE faculty and instructors, M.S. and Ph.D. students in the proposed IDGP will pursue coursework, obtain equipment and instrumentation training from dedicated staff, and perform original research in these modern, cutting-edge research laboratories and shared facilities. The proposed degree programs are therefore well positioned to impart high-quality training to students and enable their success in a variety of career roles spanning industry, academia, and government. Complementing knowledge and skills acquired through research experience, MSE students can also engage in experiential learning through internships and independent studies. The U.S. Bureau of labor Statistics (BLS)3 notes that “materials scientists with an advanced degree, particularly those with a Ph.D., are expected to have better [employment] opportunities.” The BLS notes that “prospects should be best for [materials engineers] 2 Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering who gained experience by participating in internships or co-op programs while in college”. The MSE IDGP is designed to allow students to take up to three credits of practicum (independent study or industrial internship) working with a faculty advisor or an industrial partner to strengthen the application of their education. Students can also take up to six credits of Engineering Management courses with the aim of enhancing their professional preparation for a career in the materials industry. The Engineering Management program, offered by COE in collaboration with the Isenberg School of Management, can be completed fully online, fully on- campus, or in a blended fashion, making the M.S. program within the IDGP attractive to non-traditional students and working professionals.

  • Guide to Publication Policies of the Nature Journals
    GUIDE TO PUBLICATION POLICIES OF THE NATURE JOURNALS Last updated on 30 April 2009. Editorial Policies NATURE JOURNALS' POLICIES ON PUBLICATION ETHICS Nature journals' authorship policy Being an author The Nature journals do not require all authors of a research paper to sign the letter of submission, nor do they impose an order on the list of authors. Submission to a Nature journal is taken by the journal to mean that all the listed authors have agreed all of the contents. The corresponding (submitting) author is responsible for having ensured that this agreement has been reached, and for managing all communication between the journal and all co-authors, before and after publication. Any changes to the author list after submission, such as a change in the order of the authors, or the deletion or addition of authors, needs to be approved by a signed letter from every author. Responsibilities of senior team members on multi-group collaborations The editors at the Nature journals assume that at least one member of each collaboration, usually the most senior member of each submitting group or team, has accepted responsibility for the contributions to the manuscript from that team. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to: (1) ensuring that original data upon which the submission is based is preserved and retrievable for reanalysis; (2) approving data presentation as representative of the original data; and (3) foreseeing and minimizing obstacles to the sharing of data, materials, algorithms or reagents described in the work. Author contributions statementsAuthors are required to include a statement of responsibility in the manuscript that specifies the contribution of every author.

  • A Bioinspired and Hierarchically Structured Shape-Memory Material
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-020-0789-2 A bioinspired and hierarchically structured shape-memory material Luca Cera1, Grant M. Gonzalez1, Qihan Liu1, Suji Choi1, Christophe O. Chantre1, Juncheol Lee 2, Rudy Gabardi1, Myung Chul Choi2, Kwanwoo Shin3 and Kevin Kit Parker 1 ✉ Shape-memory polymeric materials lack long-range molecular order that enables more controlled and efficient actua- tion mechanisms. Here, we develop a hierarchical structured keratin-based system that has long-range molecular order and shape-memory properties in response to hydration. We explore the metastable reconfiguration of the keratin secondary struc- ture, the transition from α-helix to β-sheet, as an actuation mechanism to design a high-strength shape-memory material that is biocompatible and processable through fibre spinning and three-dimensional (3D) printing. We extract keratin protofibrils from animal hair and subject them to shear stress to induce their self-organization into a nematic phase, which recapitulates the native hierarchical organization of the protein. This self-assembly process can be tuned to create materials with desired anisotropic structuring and responsiveness. Our combination of bottom-up assembly and top-down manufacturing allows for the scalable fabrication of strong and hierarchically structured shape-memory fibres and 3D-printed scaffolds with potential applications in bioengineering and smart textiles. he growing demand of shape-memory devices in the fields of orders of magnitude greater than those of conventional systems16–20. civil engineering1, aerospace2, wearable technology3 and medi- This is achieved by starting from a non-destructive extraction of Tcal devices4,5 has galvanized research beyond the conventional keratin protofibrils from animal hair.

Nature, 465(7300), 860–862. http://doi.org/10.1038/465860a This article is an interesting summary on the usage of metrics data within academia. Not limited to dissemination of material (as often seems to be the case) but instead, the focus is on using metrics as indices of job performance, career advancement, and academic worth. The article pits perception against reality in that respondents are asked if they believe that their institution is using metrics as a tool and additionally, institutions were asked if they do, in fact, use metrics as a tool when evaluating faculty. The only measures in which perception and application seem to line up are economic ones (Salary decisions and allocation of funding). This article does not specify altmetrics versus traditional metrics, however, an argument could be made paralleling the two and it may be worthwhile to ask administrators, chairs, etc. if altmetrics are starting to play a role in institutional decision making.
