Computational Science Research Methods for Science Education at PG Level

Abstract The role of Computational Science research methods teaching to science students at PG level is to enhance their research profile developing their abilities to investigate complex problems, analyze the resulting data and use adequately HPC environments and tools for computation and visualization. The paper analyses the current state and proposes a program that encompasses mathematical modelling, data science, advanced algorithms development, parallel programming and visualization tools. It also gives examples of specific scientific domains with explicitly taught and embedded Computational Science subjects.
