Advances in materials science and engineering play a crucial role
in supporting the U.S. economy and national security. To maintain
its leading edge in the field, the United States relies on a rich
and diverse innovation ecosystem encompassing industry, academic
institutions, and government laboratories. While this ecosystem has
generated numerous gains for defense agencies, the technology
sector, consumers, and the country as a whole over many decades,
recent years have brought new challenges and a shifting global
dynamic in the field. The United States, long a global magnet for
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education and
expertise, has seen its competitive edge slip as other countries in
Europe and Asia have increased their investments in cultivating
science and engineering talent and innovation. In 2020, the
emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic caused far-reaching disruptions
for both education and supply chains across the world, compounding
many of the dynamics that were already affecting materials science
and engineering in the United States. To explore these issues, the
Workshop on Materials Science and Engineering in a Post-Pandemic
World was organized as part of a workshop series on Defense
Materials Manufacturing and Its Infrastructure. Hosted by the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the
virtual event brought together approximately 30 speakers and
attendees representing materials science, engineering, and
manufacturing experts from industry, academia, and government
agencies. The 3-day workshop explored education and workforce
trends across the nation and the globe, with particular focus on
the U.S. Department of Defense and university-government
collaborations. Participants discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic
has affected science and engineering education, opportunities to
reimagine traditional education for the field, and the imperative
to develop a more diverse workforce. Several speakers presented
their views on what the post-pandemic future may hold, and many
offered perspectives on key concerns and priorities for the field
moving forward. This publication summarizes the presentations and
discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter Overview
