EXTREEMS-QED: Data-Enabled Science and Computational Analysis Research, Training and Education for Students (DESCARTES) Program

该计划的总体目标是为加州大学默塞德分校（UC默塞德）的应用数学科学专业学生提供增强的学术经验，为复杂系统的建模和仿真以及大型数据集的分析提供所需的计算工具培训。数据使能科学和计算分析研究，培训和学生教育（DESCARTES）计划有三个具体目标：1。为优秀的本科生提供独特的研究机会和最先进的教育和培训，使计算和数据科学，并传播他们在大学内和整个社区的努力成果;2.在应用数学科学专业内开发计算和数据支持科学重点课程，为学生提供计算和数据支持科学的最新工具和方法的实践学习体验;3.为来自该地区的高中数学教师提供学习计算和数据驱动科学的工具和方法的机会。加州大学默塞德社区致力于为圣华金河谷的人口服务-这是加州增长最快但经济欠发达的地区。事实上，我们的许多学生是代表性不足的人口的成员，大多数是第一代大学生。这些学生以及地区高中教师将从DESCARTES学者计划中获益匪浅。两人都将获得在计算和数据支持的科学和必要的培训，以解决当今社会面临的复杂问题的研究的新兴领域。地区企业和行业将通过与训练有素的潜在员工建立联系而受益。与此同时，联合国大学将朝着为该区域服务的使命迈出重要一步。

The overarching goal of this program is to provide Applied Mathematical Sciences majors at University of California, Merced (UC Merced) an enhanced academic experience that provides training in the computational tools needed for modeling and simulation of complex systems and for analysis of large data sets. The Data Enabled Science and Computational Analysis Research, Training, and Education for Students (DESCARTES) Program has three specific aims:1. To provide exceptional undergraduate students unique research opportunities and state-of-the-art education and training in computational and data enabled science and to disseminate results from their efforts within the university and to the community at-large;2. To develop the Computational and Data Enabled Science emphasis track within the Applied Mathematical Sciences major to provide students a hands-on learning experience on the latest tools and methods in computational and data enabled science;3. To provide high school math teachers from the region the opportunity to learn the tools and methods of computational and data enabled science.The UC Merced community is committed to serving the population of the San Joaquin Valley -- the fastest growing yet economically underserved region of California. Indeed, many of our students are members of underrepresented populations and most are first-generation college-goers. These students, as well as regional high school teachers, will realize significant benefits from the DESCARTES Scholars program. Both will gain access to emerging areas of research in computational and data-enabled science and the training necessary to address the complex problems confronting society today. Regional businesses and industry will benefit by forging connections to a well-trained pool of prospective employees. At the same time, the University community will take an important step towards its mission of service to the region.
