The
National Science Foundation (NSF) has presented a $2.7 million
grant to the Shodor Education Foundation to integrate computational
science across the undergraduate curriculum. The goal is
to keep our nation’s scientists, engineers and faculty
members competitive in scientific research and education.
The
National Computational Science Institute (NCSI) will teach
undergraduate faculty at small-to-medium sized universities,
community colleges, and minority-serving institutions how
to use new learning and teaching methods in the classroom.
The Shodor Education Foundation is providing annual funding
through the Clemson Shodor Computational Science Fund to
support activities in computational science by Clemson University
faculty and students. Dr. Robert M. Panoff, the founder and
director of the Shodor Education Foundation, is a former
Clemson faculty member. To date, the foundation has provided
over $200,000 in support of computational science at Clemson.
Clemson’s
Dennis E. Stevenson, associate professor in computer science
is one of the principal investigators and founding partners
on the project, and Dan Warner, a professor in Clemson’s
mathematics department, will head an advisory committee of
scientists and educators from across the country.
