Whats 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
