Convergence Education

Center Convergence Education objective. NewFoS will graduate students and postdocs as technologists, researchers, leaders, and policymakers who are well-versed in the broad science, technology, and societal aspects of the new science of sound. The expected outcome is a diverse workforce who contributes to society through team-based science-of-sound and engineering solutions, develops marketable products for US economic growth and positive societal impacts, and drives research to advance revolutionary sound applications.

Focus of Convergence Education activities. We will develop and pilot the resources to prepare a diverse workforce with the key baseline knowledge to understand the complex and difficult notion of TA for effective applications in information, communication, imaging, and sensing. 

  • NewFoS will produce a new generation of educational materials for the science and societal application of topological acoustics.

  • NewFoS will grow the next generation of diverse researchers trained in how to teach topological acoustics and its applications to solve real world problems in information science, telecommunication, and sensing.

  • NewFoS will grow a new and diverse workforce trained with working knowledge of topological acoustics and its role to address real world problems in information science, telecommunication, and sensing.

  • Context-Based Topological Acoustics Book and Modules.
  • Curriculum-Design Seminar.
  • Community College Research Workshop.
