As adiscipline, Computational Science is concerned with the computationalaspects of modeling, simulating and analyzing the behavior of natural orman-made systems; the emphasis is on the use and development ofcomputational techniques to better understand the behavior of systems. Consistent with this, a Computational Science Cluster at the College hasbeen formed that may eventually involve faculty from a wide variety ofdepartments in the School of Arts and Sciences, and from the Schools ofMarine Science and Business. The potential to share computationalresources and build intellectual cross-disciplinary affiliations is large,at both the faculty and graduate student level. </P><H3>Definition</H3><P>At the faculty level the Cluster is composed of affiliated faculty. Affiliated faculty normally demonstrate a history of using and developingcomputational methods in a scientific way to model, simulate and analyzethe behavior of natural or man-made systems. In the absence of thishistory, the Cluster will provide the intellectual resources forinterested faculty to develop a Computational Science expertise. TheCluster is administered by an acting Director and a Cluster Committee. TheDirector and all members of the Cluster Committee are affiliated facultymembers. Together, they are working to expand the existing computationalstrengths (people, hardware, and software) at the College with an emphasison the enhancement of advanced undergraduate-level and graduate-levelinterdisciplinary research and instruction. </P><H3>Undergraduate Interaction</H3><P>There is not an undergraduate concentration or minor in ComputationalScience. However, each year Cluster-affiliated faculty will offer atleast one upper-level, cross-listed course designed to illustrate thesignificant insight and unity that a Computational Science perspective provides when a variety of natural or man-made systems are studied at thecomputational level. Moreover, within the framework of their home departments, Cluster-affiliated faculty are encouraged to integrateadvanced undergraduates into their research working groups and advisesenior research projects with a significant Computational Science component. </P><H3>Graduate Interaction</H3><P>There is not be an MS or PhD degree in Computational Science. However,if a Cluster-affiliated faculty member directs the research of a graduatestudent in a Cluster-affiliated MS-granting or PhD-granting department orschool, then the citation "With a Specialization in Computational Science"will be appended to the MS or PhD degree, as appropriate. Beginning inthe 97/98 academic year the Cluster will recruit graduate students, inpart as an extension of the recruiting already done by Cluster-affiliateddepartments/schools with graduate programs, but also on its own. Allgraduate student admission will be into one of the Cluster-affiliateddepartments/schools. (A department or school is Cluster-affiliated if atleast one of its tenured faculty is Cluster-affiliated and thedepartment/school has agreed to award the "With a Specialization inComputational Science" citation, when appropriate.) Graduate studentsrecruited by the Cluster will apply to Cluster-affiliated departments,with a Computational Science interest noted on the application. Eachdepartment will then act on these applications consistent with standarddepartmental admission policies. </P><!-- FOOTER: PLEASE DON'T MODIFY FROM THIS LINE TO THE END --><P><CENTER><HR SIZE="4">Last updated: November 1, 1996.
