Computation for Interdisciplinary Science

该项目建立在努力整合跨学科的计算工作，扩大跨学科的学生研究机会和实习，开发计算科学的新未成年人，并提供一个新的计算和建模实验室。它汇集并协调大学服务，以支持对计算和跨学科科学感兴趣的学生。学院吸引和指导这些学生，为他们准备研究生院或直接进入科学劳动力市场。奖学金为有经济需要的学术才华的学生提供了重大的激励措施来追求这个学习计划。智力优势：学科深度和跨学科的广度需要找到复杂的当代科学问题的解决方案。协同努力解决这些问题所产生的协同作用，以及在解决这些问题方面取得进展所带来的满足感，是从事科学研究的强大动力。特别是，越来越需要具有重要计算技能的科学家和能够与其他学科研究人员合作的计算机科学家。该项目增加了具有参与未来科学发现所需的科学和计算技能的学生人数。奖学金的提供，以及有针对性的招聘和保留工作和课程改革（1）提高了我们的入学和早期职业学生对计算科学机会范围的认识，（2）鼓励学术实力强的学生选择在计算科学工作，（3）吸引这样的学生进入一个强大的夏季和学年的研究计划。这些计划，反过来，产生学生做好准备，进一步研究和学习或直接进入劳动力市场。该计划是专门设计来增加学生人数从代表性不足的群体，无论是少数民族和妇女，在CS课程，通过扩大招聘和知名度，对计算技能的跨学科应用的重点，并有意指导和队列经验，在整个学生的本科生涯。

This project builds on efforts to integrate computational work across the science disciplines, expand interdisciplinary student research opportunities and internships, develop a new minor in computational science, and provide a new computational and modeling laboratory. It brings together and coordinates college services to support students interested in computational and interdisciplinary science. The college attracts and mentors these students, equipping them for graduate school or direct entry into the scientific workforce. Scholarships provide significant incentives for academically talented students with financial need to pursue this program of study.Intellectual Merit: Disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth are required to find solutions to complex, contemporary scientific problems. The synergy that results from collaborative efforts to address these problems and the satisfaction that comes from making progress toward their solution are strong motivators for engaging in scientific research. In particular, there is a growing need for scientists with significant computational skills and for computer scientists who can collaborate with researchers in other disciplines. This project increases the number of students with the scientific and computational skills required to participate in the scientific discoveries of the future.Broader Impacts: The availability of scholarships together with targeted recruiting and retention efforts and curricular reforms (1) increases the awareness of the range of opportunities available in computational science among our entering and early career students, (2) encourages academically strong students to choose to work in computational science, and (3) draws such students into in a strong summer and academic-year research programs. These programs, in turn, produce students well-prepared for further research and study or for direct entry into the workforce. This program is specifically designed to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups, both ethnic minorities and women, in CS courses through expanded recruiting and visibility, an emphasis on cross-disciplinary applications of computational skills, and intentional mentoring and cohort experiences throughout the students' undergraduate careers.
