This IGERT program is structured to provide a unique Ph.D. program in interdisciplinary research and education in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). The vision is to educate students for whom working in interdisciplinary teams is the norm, and who have the ability to acquire knowledge, ways of thinking, and perspectives from other disciplines. The proposed IGERT PhD experience is different from one in a traditional discipline, and possibly unique among CSE programs in the USA. The IGERT PhD theses will be jointly supervised, and those students with a particular disciplinary orientation will share resources, knowledge, and approaches with IGERT students with other orientations. While a typical IGERT PhD thesis will still have a strong focus in a discipline, it will contain major elements of independent creative work in other disciplines relevant to the general problem area under study. IGERT students and faculty will work together in three Focus Groups: Microscale Engineering, Complex Fluids, and Computational Materials Science, to solve a wide range of important and timely problems that depend deeply on integration of information from the smaller scales to the larger scales. These multiscale problems require a strong foundation in both engineering and the mathematical and computational sciences. The curriculum ensures depth in one area and a significant exposure to high level courses in one or more ancillary areas. It includes new courses in atomic-scale computer simulation, and computing for high performance, to specifically address the multiscale nature of the Focus Group problems and their computational requirements. An internship is required to broaden and reinforce the interdisciplinary research experience, and a required series of workshops and seminars will give IGERT students a significant exposure to important aspects of career development and ethics.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the fifth year of the program, awards are being made to twenty-one institutions for programs that collectively span the areas of science and engineering supported by NSF.

该 IGERT 项目旨在提供独特的博士学位。计算科学与工程（CSE）跨学科研究和教育计划。我们的愿景是教育学生，让他们在跨学科团队中工作是常态，并且有能力从其他学科获取知识、思维方式和观点。拟议的 IGERT 博士经历不同于传统学科，并且在美国的 CSE 项目中可能是独一无二的。 IGERT的博士论文将受到联合指导，特定学科方向的学生将与其他方向的IGERT学生共享资源、知识和方法。虽然典型的 IGERT 博士论文仍将重点关注某一学科，但它将包含与所研究的一般问题领域相关的其他学科的独立创造性工作的主要元素。 IGERT 的学生和教师将在三个焦点小组中共同努力：微尺度工程、复杂流体和计算材料科学，解决一系列重要且及时的问题，这些问题严重依赖于从小尺度到更大尺度的信息整合。这些多尺度问题需要工程、数学和计算科学方面的坚实基础。该课程确保某一领域的深度，并充分接触一个或多个辅助领域的高水平课程。 它包括原子尺度计算机模拟和高性能计算的新课程，专门解决焦点小组问题的多尺度性质及其计算要求。需要通过实习来拓宽和加强跨学科研究经验，而一系列必需的讲习班和研讨会将使 IGERT 学生能够深入了解职业发展和道德的重要方面。IGERT 是一个 NSF 范围内的项目，旨在应对美国博士学位教育的挑战。具有多学科背景以及未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的科学家和工程师。该计划旨在通过在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，促进研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第五年，共有 21 个机构因 NSF 支持的科学和工程领域的项目而获奖。
