摘要
It is widely acknowledged that computational science and engineering (CSE) will play a critical role in the future of the scientific discovery process and engineering design. However, in recent years computational skills have been deemphasized in the curricula of many undergraduate programs in science and engineering. There is a clear need to provide training in CSE fundamentals at the undergraduate level. An undergraduate CSE program can train students for careers in industry, education, and for graduate CSE study. The courses developed for such a program will have an impact throughout the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate curriculum. This paper outlines the content of a CSE curriculum, the skills needed by successful graduates, the structure and experiences of some recently developed CSE undergraduate programs, and the potential career paths following a CSE undergraduate education.
