Short Courses About Internet and Federal Materials Research Programs Debut at 1994 MRS Fall Meeting As part of its ongoing effort to keep the MRS Short Course Program relevant and useful to the materials community, the Materials Research Society is pleased to announce two timely additions to the courses and tutorials planned for the 1994 Fall Meeting. A new short course will focus on The Whole Internet: Usage and Futures, and a new tutorial will explore Federal Materials Research Programs and Opportunities. The Whole Internet: Usage and Futures (A-01): Under President Clinton's goal for a National Information Infrastructure, the Internet becomes the cornerstone of the program and is now available to everyone and for all uses. This short course will introduce participants to the Internet, its roots and culture. The majority of time will be spent examining each of the common network applications. Each tool's use
(telnet, ftp, e-mail, news, gopher, archie, and the worldwide web) will be shown and discussed. The full-day course is intended for people with a user's knowledge of computing who are either personally interested in this information resource or are investigating it for their work. No prior knowledge of computer networking is required. Course date: Wednesday, November 30, 1994, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Instructor: Ed Krol, director, Computing & Communications Services Office, University of Illinois.
Federal Materials Research Programs and Opportunities (TP-11): Researchers who don't understand the workings of the complex federal materials research programs are at a disadvantage in obtaining support for their ideas. This tutorial will provide a convenient summary of materials science and engineering research programs in federal agencies together with
suggested guidance for interacting with and obtaining research support from these agencies. This course will provide an overview of federal agency funding levels, research scope, and directions. It will also cover current opportunities for collaboration and funding and describe the requirements and methodology for obtaining funding. Attendees should leave the course with a enough knowledge to make informed inquiries of the federal agencies or be able to apply directly for support on their own. Course date: Sunday, November 27,1994, 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Instructor: Louis laniello, consultant, formerly with the U.S. Department of Energy.
