With National Science Foundation support, North Carolina State University will continue to develop the Computational Center for Fundamental and Applied Science and Education. The vision of the Computational Center is to lead the University?s transformation into a research intensive university with established Ph.D. programs across STEM disciplines. Project objectives are to leverage the successes of Phase I effort to establish a nationally recognized research facility with outstanding scientific and educational programs centered on active collaborations with academia, industry, government and international partners. This objective will be achieved by advancing cross-disciplinary, integrated research, educational, and outreach programs, to meet a confluence of needs in computational science and education. Intellectual Merit:The Center will include sustainable, nationally recognized, computationally driven research programs across four areas: (1) development of novel nanomaterials and application of these materials in advanced optoelectronic devices; (2) low-to-medium-energy nuclear and hypernuclear few-body physics; (3) Intelligent systems and robotics; and (4) geophysical characterization of intraplate seismic zones. The center builds on the complementary and closely interwoven research and extensive collaborations established in Phase I. The computational structures developed by the Center will result in significant new contributions in all of the four research areas.Broader Impacts :The Center has already significantly enhanced the STEM research and education capacities at North Carolina Central University, and is now leading the transformation of the institution to a research oriented institution. The Phase II Center will broaden the educational and research infrastructure to enable the expansion of Ph.D. programs in STEM disciplines. Center activities include: a) improved STEM matriculation and graduation, especially among African-American students, women, and socially and economically disadvantaged students; b) establishment of Ph.D. programs in STEM disciplines; c) improved STEM undergraduate and graduate curriculum; d) STEM graduates trained in fields critically needed by industry; and e) greater awareness of applied computational sciences among middle and high school students and the general public.

在国家科学基金会的支持下，北卡罗来纳州立大学将继续开发基本和应用科学和教育的计算中心。 计算中心的愿景是将大学的转变带入拥有既定博士学位的研究密集大学。跨学科的程序。项目目标是利用第一阶段努力的成功，建立一个全国认可的研究机构，其杰出的科学和教育计划以与学术界，工业，政府和国际合作伙伴的积极合作为中心。这一目标将通过促进跨学科，综合研究，教育和外展计划来实现，以满足计算科学和教育需求的融合。智力优点：该中心将包括在四个领域的可持续性，全国认可的计算驱动的研究计划：（1）新型纳米材料的开发以及这些材料在高级光电设备中的应用； （2）低到中等的核和高核几体物理学； （3）智能系统和机器人技术； （4）板内地震区的地球物理表征。该中心建立在第I期中建立的互补和紧密交织的研究以及中心建立的广泛合作的基础上，该中心开发的计算结构将在所有四个研究领域中产生重大贡献。BROADER的影响：该中心已经显着增强了北卡罗莱纳州中心大学的STEM研究和教育能力，现在正在北卡罗来纳大学，现在正在领导该研究机构的转型。第二阶段中心将扩大教育和研究基础设施，以扩大博士学位。 STEM学科的程序。 中心活动包括：a）改进的茎入学和毕业，尤其是在非裔美国学生，妇女以及社会和经济不利的学生中； b）建立博士学位STEM学科的计划； c）改善了茎本科和研究生课程； D）在行业需要批判性的领域培训的STEM毕业生； E）在中学生和公众中对应用计算科学的了解更高。
