This one-year project is developing an upper division course in numerical methods that incorporates the methodology of advanced scientific computing. Until now the availability of these high performance computational tools has been almost exclusively limited to advanced research and development projects. This project is demonstrating the viability of exposing undergraduates to modern scientific computing. The hallmark of the project is the development of a library of interdisciplinary case studies, so that students can study basic numerical methods in the context of a significantly sized scientific or engineering problem using real data. These form the basis of group project work by students organized into interdisciplinary teams.This NSF-funded project is the first step in a larger curriculum development effort designed to extend a theme of computation throughout the typical undergraduate science and engineering program, and in particular to bring experience in advanced scientific computation to undergraduates.NSF grant funds for equipment are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.

这个为期一年的项目正在开发一门包含先进科学计算方法论的数值方法高级课程。到目前为止，这些高性能计算工具的可用性几乎仅限于高级研究和开发项目。这个项目正在展示让本科生接触现代科学计算的可行性。该项目的特点是开发了一个跨学科案例研究库，以便学生可以在大规模科学或工程问题的背景下使用真实数据学习基本的数值方法。这些构成了学生组成跨学科团队的小组项目工作的基础。这个由NSF资助的项目是一个更大的课程开发努力的第一步，旨在将计算的主题扩展到整个典型的本科科学和工程课程，特别是给本科生带来先进的科学计算经验。NSF为设备提供的拨款与非联邦来源的资金相匹配。
