Mathematical Sciences/GIG:Infrastructure Needs for Preparing Students for the Industrial and Business Workforce

摘要：为应对学术界数学家就业市场的萎缩，明尼苏达大学数学学院开发了新的教育项目，以培养非学术职位的数学学生，并积极开展工业研究项目，为数学教师提供新的研究机会。明尼苏达工业数学中心（MCIM）和在数值分析方面建立良好的教师建议联合起来进一步加强这些现有的教育和研究活动。MCIM成立于1993年，致力于与工业界合作开展研究，并为寻求在商业，工业和政府实验室就业的学生提供职业培训和机会。工业/商业学生实习是这个项目的基石。数值分析和科学计算项目主要致力于与大学科学家进行多学科研究。该教育计划旨在为学术和工业就业培养数学学生，并为许多工程专业学生提供服务培训。正在通过MCIM发展与工业界的伙伴关系。事实上，两个小组，MCIM和数值分析，有一个重叠的成员。这些团体的共同目标是为即将进入工业、商业和科学工作场所的学生提高教育、研究和就业机会的质量。该奖项将通过支持研究生、实验计算实验室和职业发展服务来扩大和加强这些教育和研究项目。该奖项与GOALI活动一致，因为授予的资金集中在将在实际工业环境中进行的研究生活动上。

Abstract 9631347 In response to the shrinking academic job market for mathematicians, the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota has developed new educational programs to train mathematics students for nonacademic positions and an active industrial research program to provide mathematics faculty with new research opportunities. The Minnesota Center for Industrial Mathematics (MCIM) and the well-established faculty in Numerical Analysis propose to join forces to enhance further these existing educational and research activities. The MCIM, established in 1993, is devoted to conducting research in partnership with industry and to providing career training and opportunities for students seeking employment in business, industry and government laboratories. The industrial/business student internship is the cornerstone of this program. The program in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing is devoted to conducting multi-disciplinary research primarily with university based scientists. The educational program serves to train mathematics students for both academic and industrial employment as well as to provide service training for many engineering students. Partnership with Industry is being developed through the MCIM. In fact, the two groups, MCIM and Numerical Analysis, have an overlapping membership. A common goal of these groups is to improve the quality of education, research and career opportunities for students bound for the industrial, business and scientific workplace. This award will expand and strengthen these educational and research programs through support for graduate students, an experimental computing laboratory and career development services. This award is consistent with the GOALI activity, in that the funding awarded is centered on the activity of graduate students who will be in real industrial settings.
