Collections–Pinterest for Hubs. The STEMEdhub.org use of Collections

11 Sep 2013 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Ann Bessenbacher

Unlike some hubs that are designed around one central concept, STEMEdhub.org was created under the general concept of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education. STEMEdhub.org is designed as a set of smaller hubs set up as groups. With STEMEdhub.org based around the concept of...

Configuring and Customizing

11 Sep 2013 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Erich Huebner

Creating a Materials Innovation Infrastructure

08 Oct 2014 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Matthew D Jacobsen, Charles Ward

Establishing a pervasive Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) environment requires model-based definition of materials and processes in a historically ad hoc and disconnected research environment, which in turn demands a significant paradigm shift in both capability and culture....

CyberInfrastructure for Computational Science

08 Oct 2014 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Victoria Stodden

From funding agency initiatives to changes in research and teaching practices, it is becoming widely recognized that computational environments are a key component in the generation of reliable scientific results. In this talk I trace some of the history of Problem Solving Environments (PSEs),...
