Overview foils for Computational Science Overview at Illinois -- May 1995

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar on May 5,1995. Foils prepared January 26,1997

I describe some issues in setting up computational science education programs at the undergraduate and graduate level based on my experience at Caltech and Syracuse University. Important issues include:
Academic Implementation: a separate department or interdisciplinary program?
Is it a fundamental field? is Computational science an "academic" discipline or a "Technical training course"
Curriculum content: Is computational science the same as scientific and engineering computation?
  • Note that at Syracuse, we plan an information track
