Presentation Transcript

  1. EDUCATION Example programs: Stanford, Illinois, Rice • Organizational structures of MS/Ph.D. programs in CSE – pros and cons • Curricular content of graduate CSE programs • Student preparation, diversity, job market • Funding support needed • Undergraduate CSE programs

  2. Organizational Structure, part 1 Key Elements: • Financial autonomy (grant ICR) • Fellowships • Computing support (machines, people)

  3. Organizational Structure Pros and Cons

  4. Curricular Content Areas: • Applied math including statistics • Numerical methods • Computer science • Science and/or engineering • Communication and teamwork What has changed since 2000: • Needs for: stochastic; discrete; multi-scale

  5. Curricular Content, continued Major need: introduction to X without pre-reqs, for example: • Science principle courses, eg physics, biology • High performance computing not taught in a hard-core computer science manner • Statistical mechanics instead of applied mathematics for science students • Bridge courses: particle methods, atomistic / molecular dynamics

  6. Curricular Content, continued more Depth vs. Breadth: Depth integral part of Ph.D. – Depth not a conflict with multidisciplinary ? Depth – academia Depth/breadth – laboratories Breath – industry

  7. Funding Support • IGERT is good model for CSE • Orient to CSE • Add faculty support, undergraduate and post-doc involvement • Need for faculty support (leadership, possibly retraining) to jump-start • Summer fellowships: students, faculty • Fellowships, computing support key

  8. Undergraduate CSE • Minor or track of major in CSE within math, science, computer science • Engineering – accreditation doesn’t allow room for CSE minor • B.S. / M.S. programs – B.S. in math, computer science, etc, M.S. in CSE • REU site grants – orient some to CSE

  9. Recruiting Diverse Student Populations • Look at successful models for admitting students (e.g. Rice, Maryland)
