Broadening Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Computational Science and Engineering Research Training (ICSERT)

圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)计算科学研究中心每年向26名跨学科计算科学和工程领域的研究生颁发1万美元的奖学金。在这个为期4年的项目过程中，SDSU将在头两年向16名博士生提供支持，其中包括4至6名博士生，这些博士生将在随后的几年中作为研究助理得到支持。此外，每年有10名硕士生在他们的两年制学位课程中得到支持。该项目旨在确保培养一支具有高水平问题解决技能和经验的未来劳动力，在团队环境中从事跨学科计算科学和工程问题的工作。该项目正在吸引和培训“发现团队”中的一批研究生，其中包括教授、研究人员、研究生和本科生，他们以互动的方式解决实际问题。S-STEM学者通过战略性的学术和职业咨询，根据需要提供适当和及时的课程支持，寻求额外的研究生学习资金支持，与学术界、国家实验室和行业的研究人员建立网络机会，以及加强教学、推广和领导力培训，一直支持到学位完成。该项目正在增加跨学科计算科学研究生项目的研究生的多样性，并正在增加完成研究生水平的STEM项目的女性和社会经济困难学生的数量，并获得跨学科计算科学和工程领域的私营部门或学术职位。

The Computational Science Research Center at San Diego State University (SDSU) is awarding $10,000 per year scholarships to 26 graduate students in interdisciplinary computational science and engineering areas. Over the course of this 4 year project, SDSU is awarding support to 16 PhD students, in unique cohorts of four to six students, during their first two years of study, and these doctoral candidates are being supported as research assistants in subsequent years. In addition, 10 Master's students, in unique cohorts of 3 or 4 students per year, are supported each year of their two-year degree program.The project is ensuring the development of a future workforce with high level problem solving skills and experience to work on interdisciplinary computational science and engineering problems in team settings. The project is engaging and training the cohorts of graduate students in 'discovery teams' which include professors, research staff, graduate and undergraduate students, working interactively to solve practical problems. S-STEM scholars are being supported through to degree completion via strategic academic and career counseling, appropriate and timely course support as needed, guidance on seeking additional graduate study financial support, networking opportunities with researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, and enhanced teaching, outreach, and leadership training.The project is increasing the diversity of graduate students in interdisciplinary computational science graduate program and is increasing the number of women and socioeconomically disadvantaged students who complete graduate level STEM-programs and obtain private sector or academic appointments in interdisciplinary computational science and engineering fields.
