*Dear Prospective Graduate Students,*
Carnegie Mellon University is accepting applications for our
professional Masters of Educational Technology and Applied Learning
Science (METALS) program. This email tells you a little more about this
opportunity. We would also like to invite you to attend a webinar on
Tuesday, October 18 at 11:00 EDT to learn more about this exciting program.

METALS is a one-year, interdisciplinary masters program that trains
graduate students to apply *evidence-based research in learning to
create effective instruction and educational technologies* for formal
and informal settings such as schools, workplaces, and museums. METALS
culminates with a seven-month capstone project
<http://metals.hcii.cmu.edu/index.php/capstone-project/?
utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=fall2016&el=>
for an external client. Guided by industry and faculty mentors in this
team-based research and development project, students experience the
end-to-end process of a product cycle from idea through prototyping.
Challenge Your Limits. Learn how to employ evidence-based research
to
create innovations in learning.
METALS is jointly taught by leading experts at the Human-Computer
Interaction Institute and the Department of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon.
*Our Students*
We seek talented students who share a desire to improve education.
METALS is highly interdisciplinary and we value *diverse backgrounds,
*skills and interests. We strongly believe that the whole is greater
than the sum of the parts, and that we can all learn from each other.
METALS not only intersects Psychology and Human Computer Interaction but
it is at the crossroads of cognitive science, statistics, computer
science, education and design. Thus, we seek applicants with experience
in a wide variety of areas such as:
* *Design*
* *Computer Science*
* *Education*
* *Business*
* *Psychology*
* *Information Technology*
*The Student Experience*
METALS students are trained to design, develop and implement advanced
solutions, making sense of state-of-the-art technologies and methods
such as:
* *Intelligent (Adaptive) Tutoring Systems*
* *Educational Data Mining*
* *Tangible Interfaces*
* *Artificial Intelligence*
* *Machine Learning*
* *Language Technologies*
Capstone Prototyping
The first and second semesters in the METALS program focus on mastering
core knowledge and skills through courses in learning principles,
technology design and implementation, and a range of engaging electives.
The second semester also introduces the student capstone project. The
32-week capstone project remains the primary focus in the third and
final semester.
*Our Graduates*
Students in the METALS program graduate ready to take key positions in
corporations, private and public universities, government organizations,
and schools. Graduates are prepared to design, develop and evaluate
educational technologies as well as become learning engineers,
instructional designers and evaluators, curriculum developers, user
experience researchers, project managers, learning technology
policy-makers, consultants and entrepreneurs. See where some of our
gradates are now: http://metals.hcii.cmu.edu/people/alumni/.
Qualified individuals such as yourself are invited to apply for
consideration for the fall 2017 class. *Applications are due December
15.* You can learn more about this exciting program at Carnegie Mellon
