The Summer Institute provides training and hands-on experience in the use of computational techniques for science and engineering students with a curriculum of short courses in computational engineering methods concentrating on structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, and computer programming for parallel clusters. Students gain research experience working with one of the AHPCRC research groups at Stanford University.

Gateways to Science Careers

The Stanford REU: Gateways to Science and Mathematics Careers (G2SMC) program is a 3-year program that provides college students with training regarding graduate school and careers pathways in STEM education research. This is a collaborative effort between researchers across the nation concerned about the small number of minority students pursuing careers in science. In our pursuit of information regarding ways that African-American students can succeed in science and mathematics, we are training the next generation of science and mathematics researchers.
