 At NCSSM, there are a variety of ways to participate in research. One of them is the research experience or REX series of courses. In REX Computational Science, you will learn to apply the technologies, techniques and tools of computational science to an interesting scientific problem of your choice. During the weekly sessions, we'll talk about the nature of scientific research, how to identify a meaningful problem, how to write a National Science Foundation style proposal, what your options are on choosing a computational tool for your research, and how to communicate your results. During the last month of the course, you will conduct a small-scale research program of your own choosing. The main part of your grade is based on the quality of your final paper, which can also be submitted to NCSSM's in-house scientific publication, Broad Street Scientific, for their publication consideration. This course requires an above-average degree of self-direction and motivation, above and beyond what is typically required for an online course. Hope to see you soon.
