MS11
Undergraduate Computational Science and Engineering

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Room: Garden Room D

For Part II, see MS35

These two minisymposia have been organized (by Angela Shiflet, Kris Stewart, Peter Turner and Bob White) to continue the discussion of undergraduate Computational Science and Engineering programs. The scope is broad. Presentations will cover programs and curricula at various levels; assessment techniques, tools and resources; course and information resources; and there will be some time set aside for open discussion to facilitate others getting more involved in the discussion and the ongoing development of undergraduate CSE.

Organizer: Peter R. Turner
