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10,000美元的奖学金。在这个为期4年的项目中，SDSU将在前两年为16名博士生提供资助，每组4到6名学生，这些博士生将在随后的几年里作为研究助理得到支持。此外，10名硕士学生，每年有3或4名学生，每年获得两年制学位课程的支持。该项目旨在确保培养具有高水平问题解决能力和经验的未来劳动力，以在团队环境中解决跨学科计算科学和工程问题。该项目吸引和培训研究生组成“发现团队”，其中包括教授、研究人员、研究生和本科生，以互动的方式解决实际问题。S-STEM学者通过战略学术和职业咨询、根据需要提供适当和及时的课程支持、寻求额外研究生学习资金支持的指导、与学术界、国家实验室和行业的研究人员建立联系的机会、以及加强教学、外展和领导力培训等方式获得学位支持。该项目增加了跨学科计算科学研究生项目研究生的多样性，并增加了完成研究生水平stem项目并在跨学科计算科学和工程领域获得私营部门或学术任命的女性和社会经济弱势学生的数量。

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.
