A Council on Competitiveness 2004 survey indicates that 97% of major companies could not function without high performance computing and computational science. Computational science and the use of modeling and simulation have been cited by the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee and the National Science Foundation Blue Ribbon Panel on Simulation Based Engineering Science as key to continued US leadership in science and engineering. By way of this project, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), The Ohio State University, the University of Akron, and the Ohio Learning Network (OLN) will collaborate with a consortium of Ohio universities to provide education on computational modeling and simulation and programs that enable small and medium-sized companies to access supercomputers and computational science expertise. Building off existing work, the PI's will integrate the ongoing undergraduate minor programs in computational science into two-year college programs and first certificate programs for workforce training; to add more advanced, industry-driven computational science certificates to serve major groups of industry collaborators; and, to tie the advanced certificates to an emerging Masters program in engineering. Parallel to the development of the certificate programs, the PI's will adapt and create science/engineering portals that give businesses access to the cyber-infrastructure resources they need to make themselves more competitive in the global marketplace. The project's proposed Cyber-infrastructure Workforce Training and Implementation Program represents the first formalized effort for universities to help companies train internal talent to use computational tools and techniques to drive business competitiveness. The focus is on polymer science and the project will be in conjunction with the Blue Collar Computing initiative/program as a mechanism for removing barriers to CI adoption

竞争力委员会 2004 年的一项调查表明，如果没有高性能计算和计算科学，97% 的大公司就无法运作。总统信息技术咨询委员会和国家科学基金会基于仿真的工程科学蓝带小组将计算科学以及建模和仿真的使用视为美国在科学和工程领域继续保持领先地位的关键。通过该项目，俄亥俄州超级计算机中心 (OSC)、俄亥俄州立大学、阿克伦大学和俄亥俄州学习网络 (OLN) 将与俄亥俄州大学联盟合作，提供计算建模和模拟方面的教育以及使中小型公司能够获得超级计算机和计算科学专业知识的项目。在现有工作的基础上，PI 将把正在进行的计算科学本科辅修课程整合到两年制大学课程和劳动力培训的第一个证书课程中；添加更先进的、行业驱动的计算科学证书，为主要的行业合作者群体提供服务；并且，将高级证书与新兴的工程硕士课程联系起来。在开发证书计划的同时，PI 将调整并创建科学/工程门户，使企业能够访问所需的网络基础设施资源，从而使自己在全球市场上更具竞争力。该项目提出的网络基础设施劳动力培训和实施计划代表了大学首次正式努力帮助公司培训内部人才使用计算工具和技术来提高商业竞争力。重点是聚合物科学，该项目将与蓝领计算计划/计划结合起来，作为消除 CI 采用障碍的机制
