These issues are particularly important in computational science, as the great generality of its methods and techniques makes them relevant to virtually any research work.
Yet, very seldom are Ph.Ds in scientific disciplines or engineering, even those who have performed computational work for their thesis project, capable of quickly exporting methods and applications to other fields without substantial retraining.
The PhD program in CSE aims at accomplishing the above goal by pursuing an interdisciplinary approach to graduate training.
