This commitment to a shift in the educationalapproach within MSE departments is highlighted in the strategic plan of the National Scienceand Technology Council’s Materials Genome Initiative, which posits that the next generation ofthe MSE workforce will need to master three competencies: experimentation, data management,and computation [4].MSE educators have worked to construct educational offerings that develop competencies in theareas identified by the Materials Genome Initiative.
