New Priorities for a Changing U.S. Economy
Abstract
The MCIM was founded four years ago with the objectives of broadening the education of students by providing them research opportunities in industry. The MCIM faculty visit industry to identify projects at the Master's and Ph.D. levels. Part of the support from the AFOSR provided time-release for the MCIM faculty to make the necessary contacts with industry and to develop an education and research program in the mathematics department: new courses in applied and computation mathematics and co-mentoring students (together with industrial people). Another part of the support was to students who worked with industry. Due to the successful record of the students, by now most industries support the students during their internship period. They also support Ph.D. students whose research is based on projects from industry. The students that sought to get only Master's degrees found good positions in industry, where they successfully apply their mathematical training. 2, 3, 4 - Please see the respective sections within body of report for summaries.
