The Computational Science Graduate Fellowship program supports over 50 doctoral students in computational science and engineering.
In addition, support is provided for computational science education at various levels where opportunities for significant advancement are anticipated. Adventures in Supercomputing (AiS) trains in-service teachers in the use of computers and networks. AiS also encourages the participation of women and minorities in computational science. The National High School Honors Program provides summer enrichment in supercomputing for gifted high school students. Textbook projects develop instructional materials for undergraduate and graduate courses in computational science. A curriculum enhancement project is developing approaches for effecting permanent changes in university curricula at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This activity also addresses the issue of engaging university administrators in the process of advocating computational science and engineering education. |

Evaluated quality of first group of fellows as they enter the professional computational science career path.
Made second general release of electronic computational science text available. Continued AiS program at reduced level, but extend computing and networking activities from high school students to middle school students at selected sites. Produced a science textbook, using techniques developed in producing the computational science textbook. Held a workshop on the role of schools of education in computational science education. Initiated networking technology assessment project to determine appropriate educational technology tools and curricula for a wide variety of schools and to produce a catalog of effective technologies for use by teachers, administrators and local and state education officials. |
