| Popis: | The Teaching Craft for Macromolecular Creativity project at Louisiana State University is an experiment in graduate polymer education. With support from the National Science Foundation's Division of Graduate Education, in the form of an IGERT grant, it has affected 36 Ph.D.-intending graduate students from 6 departments using an Apprentice-Artisan-Craftsperson training ladder adapted from the trade arts. After research-driven lecture and lab-based coursework in the synthesis, characterization, processing, and theory of macromolecules, recruits joined an interdisciplinary team including other students, faculty, and off-campus participants. Based on merit, students were elected as Apprentices, who worked side by side at the bench with professors and other on- or off-campus “research craftspersons” for 2–6 weeks. Upon completion of a written report and advancement to Ph.D. candidacy, Apprentices became Artisans. Among other privileges and responsibilities, Artisans were permitted to write minigrants to explo... |
