Some Lessons Learned: Industry Engagement
• Modeling, simulation, and analysis can improve the economic competitiveness of businesses, but barriers remain for ready adoption
• Access to High Performance Computing systems to run simulations at a scale that provides “true” ROI
• Access to commercial software licenses
• Access to expertise
• Access to education and training specific to modeling and simulation

So what type of education and training is needed?
• Modeling and Simulation Analysts– Workforce retraining through certificates– Undergraduate Minor
• Modeling and Simulation Developers– PhD level training– Professional Masters
![Page 9: Education & Training needs to fill the Missing Middle in Digital Manufacturing Ashok Krishnamurthy OSC/OARnet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55195af2550346a0698b46dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
OSC Ralph Regula School Education & Training Programs
Continued work with campuses on undergraduate programs
• Undergraduate minor
• Associate concentration

Feeding the Workforce Pipeline
• Defining the requirements– Ohio program – interdisciplinary group to define
competencies for undergraduate computational science minor program
– Review by industry advisory committee– Initiation of multi-university minor program in
computational science in 2007 at nine institutions– Associate degree program initiated at three institutions
in 2010 focused on encouraging further work toward bachelor’s degree programs
![Page 11: Education & Training needs to fill the Missing Middle in Digital Manufacturing Ashok Krishnamurthy OSC/OARnet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55195af2550346a0698b46dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Adding to the Workforce
• Translation of program into first part of “stackable certificate program– Basic certificate
• Portions of undergraduate minor program re-packaged as basic course for industry personnel
• Offered through Ralph Regula School of Computational Science at two community colleges
• Structured to review basic modeling principles and methods for those who need to update their skills
• Offered via distance learning to serve a statewide audience
![Page 12: Education & Training needs to fill the Missing Middle in Digital Manufacturing Ashok Krishnamurthy OSC/OARnet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55195af2550346a0698b46dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Basic Certificate Structure
• Three distance courses
• Offered starting summer 2011 through Columbus State Community College and Sinclair Community College– Introduction to Modeling and Simulation– Computational Methods– Programming and Algorithms
![Page 13: Education & Training needs to fill the Missing Middle in Digital Manufacturing Ashok Krishnamurthy OSC/OARnet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55195af2550346a0698b46dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Advanced Certificates
• Oriented toward particular industries and applications
• Requires ties to industry trusted advocates to encourage participation– Cannot and should not build those relationships from
scratch– “Supercomputing” is a scary word to small manufacturers
• “Does not apply to me”• Have to introduce the tools and their potential benefits to
business– May not require HPC resources to start
![Page 14: Education & Training needs to fill the Missing Middle in Digital Manufacturing Ashok Krishnamurthy OSC/OARnet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55195af2550346a0698b46dd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Building the Advanced Certificate Program
• Started with the polymer industry in partnership with universities and a statewide industry association – Polymer Ohio
• Major steps– Define the areas of greatest interest to the industry
through a survey of major leaders– Focus instructional efforts on two leading areas– Tie the materials to required software, hardware, and
support requirements– Trial run of course materials with university students

Undergraduate Minor Program in Computational Science
• Steve Gordon talked about the UG minor being offered at Ohio universities
![Page 22: Education & Training needs to fill the Missing Middle in Digital Manufacturing Ashok Krishnamurthy OSC/OARnet](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55195af2550346a0698b46dd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Professional MS in Computational Engineering
• Today, developing models and HPC simulations in many areas requires PhD level training
• PhD production latency is high, and output is low. PhD training is not necessarily well matched to industry needs
• Suggested alternative: A 3 semester professional MS program – 10 courses during the 1st two semesters and a hands-on, industry sponsored program in the final semester
