ACES Program
Certificate in Computational Science
Requirements
To be eligible for the Certificate
in Computational Science students must apply
to and be accepted into the ACES program. Students
must also be admitted into a Ph.D. program of
one of the participating
departments.
Requirements for Certificate in
Computational Science
1. Fulfill all the requirements for the Ph.D.
in your department in an area that requires the application of
advanced computing.
2. Complete two computational
courses selected from a pre-approved
set of courses being offered
within the participating
departments. At least one
of these two courses must be chosen from a department
other than the one in which you are pursuing
your Ph.D.
3. Demonstrate to your advisor(s)
that you have achieved competence in basic computational
techniques and in the use of the University's
advanced computing facilities. When appropriate,
your advisor may require you to complete a number
of professional tutorials to gain the necessary
competence. (The tutorials are offered through
the Scientific
Computing and Visualization group
(SCV) of the Office
of Information Technology.)
4. Complete two computational science projects;
one closely related to your chosen field of doctoral research
and the other involving research in another field. Give "work
in progress" presentations of these projects at ACES community
meetings.
5. Participate regularly at the ACES community
meetings (ACES trainees and faculty will meet for weekly or bi-weekly
seminars, informal talks, workshops, luncheons and talks by invited
scientists from other institutions.)
Additional Requirements for IGERT
Funded ACES Students
6. Spend one and a half to two months during at
least one summer in an internship at a government laboratory,
industrial research center or foreign supercomputer center.
7. Attend one professional computational science
conference each year while funded through ACES.
By fulfilling the above requirements, you
will earn a Certificate in Computational Science,
which will be awarded together with your Ph.D.
