Computational modeling and simulation are indispensable tools in nearly every field of science and engineering. People trained in Computational Science find themselves in very high demand, especially for the most exciting, leading edge work.

...from the frontiers of computing to the frontiers of discovery, leading Penn State's research, education and outreach in multidisciplinary computational science.

the need for dynamic and flexible computational science curricula becomes ever more obvious.

Mathematical and Computational Science is an interdepartmental undergraduate program designed for students interested in applying mathematical ideas and analysis to problems in the biological, computational, financial or management sciences. For more information, please see our introduction to MCS.

A minor in computational science through the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science will provide students who already have expertise in science and engineering with skills they can use to complete computationally based projects. Further, the draft competencies created by the participating faculty have been reviewed and approved by a business advisory committee, meaning that when you enter the workforce with this background, you will have the specific skills sought by employers.

there are institutional resistance within science departments to adopt computational science methodologies. In fact, this is one of the most common question and concern from many science faculty in our college. They are skeptical about computational science is appropriate to be introduce in a community college.

All the modulus will be available thru the internet. In particular, it will be submiited to CSERD, etc.

I would like to collaborate with other community colleges within California and outside California. Tom Murphy (Contra Costa College) has visited CCSF in December 2007, and we start to collaborate the development of computational science curriculum.
