Undergraduate Computational Science Laboratory: Curriculum Development Project

9352362马丁计算技术的巨大进步产生了一种新的方法，计算科学，用于学习和推进传统科学，如物理和化学。 我们正在通过提供物理和化学计算科学实验室教学的模型来启动本科科学教育的根本变革。 我们正在建立一个种子实验室，致力于计算科学和开发本科物理和化学计算学位选项的课程。 有关教员正在编制必要的课程和教材，并已获得了开设这些课程所需的计算机硬件。 项目人员由具有计算物理和化学教育和研究以及计算机科学专业知识的跨学科教师团队组成。 我们预计，该项目的成果将转移到科学教育的国家场景。 ***

9352362 Martin The enormous progress in computational technology has generated a new methodology, computational science, for learning and advancing the traditional sciences such as physics and chemistry. We are initiating fundamental change in undergraduate science education by providing a model for computational-science laboratory instruction in physics and chemistry. We are setting up a seed laboratory devoted to computational science and developing a curriculum for computational degree options in undergraduate physics and chemistry. The faculty involved are developing the necessary courses and course materials and the computer hardware to implement the courses has been obtained. The project personnel consist of interdisciplinary teams of faculty with expertise in computational physics and chemistry education and research, and computer science. We anticipate that results of the project will be transferable to the national scene in science education. ***
