Math, Science, & Technology Grants
Dr. Johnny Houston, Mathematics and Computer Science has been awarded $750,000 for The Computational Science-Scientific Visualization. The funds will be used for curricula revisions of gateway courses in Mathematics, Science and Technology (MST); enhancement of a Scientific Resource and Learning Center in the School of MST, implementation of a MST Career Seminar Series, increased technology exposure in all MST courses, enhanced research experiences for MST faculty/students during the academic year and increased internship experiences for MST students and faculty during the summers. The primary goal of this project is to create an opportunity for minority students and faculty to contribute to research with applications of computational science-scientific visualization tools and techniques in areas of interest to DoE and the nation. Academic year activities include conducting research in areas of long-term interest to DoE, developing and presenting tutorials (research training) in workshops in computational science-scientific visualization, and sharing advanced software/computational science-scientific visualization tools and techniques via internet and teleconferencing. Summer activities include ECSU-NAM Summer Research Institute in Computational Science-Scientific Visualization and research activities/dialogues with DoE Laboratories.
