S-STEM Scholarships at Oberlin College: Supporting Undergraduate Engagement in Computation and Modeling

该项目为学术上有才华但经济上有困难的学生提供奖学金，这些学生对科学计算和数学建模感兴趣。该项目的大部分智力价值在于其明确发展学生在这两个领域的专业知识，这两个领域对下一代科学研究人员至关重要。这一重点的课程和课程基础在于来自九个部门的一组教师的努力，他们组成了奥伯林计算和建模中心，该中心使用这些方法作为教学和学生教师研究的催化剂。该项目的更广泛的影响是在该中心的进一步发展和创建一个新的跨学科的计算和建模浓度选项的学生，将坚持作为一个选项后，所有后续的学生正式奖学金支持期结束。

This project is providing scholarship support for academically talented but financially needy students with a demonstrated interest in scientific computation and mathematical modeling. Much of the intellectual merit of this project lies in its explicit development of student expertise in these two areas that are critical for the next generation of scientific researchers. The course and curricular underpinnings of this emphasis lie in the efforts of a group of faculty from nine departments who comprise the Oberlin Center for Computation and Modeling which serves as a catalyst for teaching and student-faculty research using these approaches. The broader impacts of the project are felt in the further development of the Center and the creation of a new cross-disciplinary computation and modeling concentration option for students that will persist as an option for all subsequent students after the formal scholarship support period ends.
