Computation for Interdisciplinary Science

该项目致力于整合跨科学学科的计算工作，扩大跨学科学生的研究机会和实习机会，发展计算科学的新辅修学科，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，以支持对计算科学和跨学科科学感兴趣的学生。学院吸引并指导这些学生，为他们进入研究生院或直接进入科学工作大军做好准备。奖学金为有经济需要的有学术天赋的学生提供了显著的激励，让他们继续学习这一项目。智力优势：需要学科深度和跨学科广度来找到解决复杂的当代科学问题的方法。解决这些问题的合作努力所产生的协同效应，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，对具有重要计算技能的科学家和能够与其他学科的研究人员合作的计算机科学家的需求日益增长。这个项目增加了参与未来科学发现所需的具有科学和计算技能的学生的数量。广泛的影响：奖学金的提供以及有针对性的招聘和保留努力以及课程改革(1)增加了我们的入门和早期就业学生对计算科学机会范围的认识，(2)鼓励学业优秀的学生选择在计算科学工作，以及(3)吸引这些学生参加强劲的暑期和学年研究项目。反过来，这些课程培养的学生为进一步的研究和学习或直接进入劳动力市场做好了充分的准备。该项目旨在通过扩大招生范围和知名度，强调计算技能的跨学科应用，以及在学生的本科生涯中有意识地指导和分组经验，增加CS课程中来自少数民族和女性的代表人数。

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.
