Education Overview of the HPC²

Education at the HPC² is much more than just a by-product of leading edge research. It is an indispensible part of the HPC²'s mission, both at the graduate and undergraduate level. Since the founding of the HPC², over 750 students (graduate and undergraduate) have participated as student researchers at the HPC² . Currently there are about one hundred student researchers, undergraduate students and graduate students.

The HPC²'s research programs are closely allied with the Mississippi State University graduate program in Computational Engineering (CmE). Computational engineering encompasses the design, development, and application of computational systems for the solution of physical problems in engineering and science. these computational systems include not only the algorithms and software required for the solution of mathematical equations describing physical processes, but also the means and methods of visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting computed results and other physical data.

The HPC² is involves faculty from six colleges and nearly 25 departments within the university. These faculty are engaged in cross-disciplinary research in the HPC², but remain members of their respective academic departments. Many faculty divide time between offices in the HPC² and in their respective academic departments, and strong emphasis is placed simultaneously on cross-disciplinary interaction and in sustaining the academic departments.
