Abstract :
Computational science and engineering is at once both marginal and fundamental to the traditional disciplines that it touches. Marginal because CSE is not a discipline in the classic sense, nor in the UCES view, should it aspire to disciplinary status. CSE is not a clearly identifiable community or univocal disciplinary movement. Sometimes its identity seems to center in a loose cluster of interests such as visualization, computational error analysis, computer networking, and computational tools for numerical and symbolic analysis. The paper discusses UCES, the undergraduate CSE initiative and the building of a curriculum
