EOT: Computational Science Certificates for the Current Workforce: Lessons Learned
Abstract: One of the keys to the future competitiveness of U.S. industry is the integration of modeling and simulation into the development, design, and manufacturing process. A related challenge is to retrain the current workforce in the use of computational modeling to enable its effective use in the workplace. We review our implementation of a new, computational science certificate program aimed at the current workforce in Ohio. The structure of the current program is discussed along with the problems associated with meeting the educational needs of this population.
