Interdisciplinary (99) This project is developing an interdisciplinary minor encompassing the sciences, economics, and art that emphasizes computational visualization and modeling (CVM), which are two key aspects of computational science. Implementation of the minor includes two new interdisciplinary courses: "Data Visualization" and "Principles of Computation and Modeling," along with customized software and exercises based on (i) the BioGrapher Excel front-end developed at Beloit College for the AT&T GraphViz graphical visualization package, and (ii) GNU Octave and Scilab simulation and modeling Integrated Development Environments. Innovative pedagogy and curricular design for an enhanced STEM curriculum that encompasses the new challenges in many disciplines caused by an avalanche of complex, multivariate, and multidimensional data undergird the intellectual merit of this project. In addition to modeling and simulation materials, techniques for graphical visualization, including 3D visualization using the Geowall projection system, are emphasized. The broader impacts of the project leverage the leadership role played by the PI's institution in national undergraduate teaching and research consortia in a number of different disciplines. For example, enhanced dissemination at the national level is taking place through faculty workshops hosted by the BioQUEST/BEDROCK Consortium headquartered at Beloit College. In addition, each year thirty sixth grade girls, their science teachers, and their parents are taking part in hands-on exercises in visualization and modeling in the dedicated CVM computer laboratory as part of the Girls and Women in Science (GWIS) two-day Conference organized annually by Beloit College.

跨学科（99）该项目正在开发一个跨学科的未成年人，包括科学，经济学和艺术，强调计算可视化和建模（CVM），这是计算科学的两个关键方面。未成年人的实施包括两个新的跨学科课程：“数据可视化”和“计算和建模原理”，沿着定制的软件和练习的基础上（i）BioGrapher Excel前端开发的Beloit学院AT T GraphViz图形可视化包，和（ii）GNU Octave和Scilab模拟和建模集成开发环境。创新的教学法和课程设计的增强STEM课程，包括在许多学科的复杂，多元和多维数据的雪崩所造成的新挑战巩固了这个项目的智力价值。除了建模和仿真材料，图形可视化技术，包括使用Geowall投影系统的3D可视化，强调。该项目的更广泛影响利用了PI的机构在一些不同学科的国家本科教学和研究联盟中发挥的领导作用。例如，通过总部设在贝洛伊特学院的BioQUEST/BEDROCK联合会主办的教师讲习班，正在国家一级加强传播。此外，每年三十六年级的女孩，他们的科学老师，和他们的父母都参加在可视化和建模在专用的CVM计算机实验室的动手练习的一部分，女孩和妇女在科学（GWIS）为期两天的会议每年由贝洛伊特学院举办。
