- Mondays will be devoted to lectures, discussions, and hands-on learning. For
about the first half of the summer, we will concentrate on the
problems, methods, and tools common to computational scientists from
all fields. During the second half of the summer we will examine
the role of ethics for students and scientists alike.
- On Fridays, students will briefly share their
progress and problems with each other. Near the end of the
summer, outside experts from industry or government services will give
students ideas about the use of scientific computing outside academia.
- Tuesday-Thursday
students will work with their mentors on research projects that are
carefully selected parts of the mentors' own research. No special experience is required -- the mentors will explain the ideas, context, and methods needed to understand and perform the research.
- The weekends will be "down time". There
will be some optional, organized activity each Saturday -- a trip to
the movies or a bowling alley, a pool tournament, ultimate frisbee,
etc.
Student participants will be provided with room and board, a stipend of $4250, all the necessary books, and modest travel allowance to assist students to travel to Marshall University. Travel support is also available to professional conferences for students who are presenting the results of their research.
