| 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?
