What`s This? • 4 year BS degree • S (Physics + Math +CS) = Computational Science (CSE) • Research Rich for UG (PhD, MS projects) • Built on 3 CSE courses + 1 new + others • Incorporate tutorials & Applets: NASCE (MRA-OSU) • WWW/CML for CSE courses; eg BS in Physics • Publish Instructional Materials; Princeton & Wiley : paper + CD • Accessible (XML, MathML, SVG);
Why Do This? • Need: students know both science + HPC • Black box: not enough • Need: Bridge courses • adjusted level • content
Intellectual Content of CP (CSE) Five General Areas: 1. Solution Realistic Physics 2. Applied Math & Comp Methods 3. Simulation & Modeling 4. High Performance Computing 5. Computation & Visualization Tools
Conclusions: “Beginnings are hard”C. P. (d 2002) • CPUG @ OSU • common balance, tools • Description = 2 Books (05, 06) • not prescription • Pioneers: cooperative spirit • CSE/CP courses: • need glue, bridge, books • 1 grad 03, 3 grads 04 • 2 new CP faculty (04)
