Mathematical Sciences: Traineeships in Mathematics and Computation in Engineering

9256439库尔茨国家科学基金会研究生研究培训计划的主要目标是增加有才华的美国本科生在关键和新兴的科学和工程领域攻读博士课程的人数。建议征求的机构现有的设施和工作人员可以容纳更多的研究生在高质量的博士项目。该方案还旨在加强全国所有地域部门和所有任职人数不足群体的人力资源基础。研究生研究培训奖是学生支持的一揽子奖励。获奖高校负责学员选拔、学员留用和学员岗位管理工作。威斯康星大学将开发一个项目，培训从事数学和计算科学与工程之间的工作的博士级别的研究人员。学员将有能力使用最先进的数学和计算方法来研究工程问题，并有能力开发新的方法来应对这些问题。该计划将侧重于数学建模过程，包括关于假设的有效性和计算可行性的问题。将通过广泛的课程作业和各种科学互动和经验来强调知识和经验的广度。

9256439 Kurtz The principal objective of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Traineeship Program is to increase the numbers of talented U.S. undergraduates enrolling in doctoral programs in critical and emerging areas of science and engineering. Proposals were solicited from institutions whose existing facilities and staff could accommodate additional graduate students in Ph.D. programs of high quality. The program is also intended to contribute to strengthening the Nation's human resource base across all geographic sectors and among all under-represented groups. Graduate Research Traineeship awards are packages of student support. The colleges and universities that receive the awards are responsible for the selection of trainees, retention of trainees, and administration of traineeships. The University of Wisconsin will develop a program to train doctoral level researchers working at the interface between the mathematical and computational sciences and engineering. Trainees will have the capability to employ "state-of-the-art" mathematical and computational methodology in the study of engineering problems as well as the capability to develop new methodology in response to these problems. The program will focus on the mathematical modeling process including issues regarding the validity of assumptions and computational feasibility. Breadth of knowledge and experience will be emphasized through a wide range of course work and a variety of scientific interactions and experiences.
