ERC

The intent of the NSF ERC Program is to change the culture of the university in the direction of multidisciplinary research and collaboration, and the NSF ERC at MSU has indeed brought major change to MSU, establishing a pattern of cross-disciplinary research effort - an acceptance of such effort as the norm - that has positioned the University for other major opportunities. The NSF ERC also established a new multidisciplinary graduate program in Computational Engineering cutting across engineering, computer science, and mathematics that allows entry from any field of engineering or even from the physical and life sciences... As created in the NSF ERC Program, the NSF ERC for Computational Field Simulation at MSU was a multidisciplinary academic research center conducting a coordinated research program according to a strategic plan to advance the U.S. capability in the use of computational simulation in engineering analysis and design, as well as in scientific research in general...
