This workshop will focus on planning for the multidisciplinary education of students as well as workforce development. The workshop will produce a MPE 2013+ Education Plan for the wider mathematical sciences community and those interested in high school, undergraduate and graduate education. Discussion sessions and panels will be included, as well as invited speakers with expertise in green education, communications, and undergraduate mathematics education. This workshop is supported by the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) and funded by the National Science Foundation.
