TL;DR: This act focuses on several aspects of computing technology, but two have received the most attention: computational science as embodied in the Grand Challenges and the National Research and Educational Network (NREN).
Abstract: We describe computational science as an interdisciplinary approach to doing science on computers. Our purpose is to introduce computational science as a legitimate interest of computer scientists.We present a possible foundation for computational science. These foundations show that there is a need to consider computational aspects of science at the scientific level. We next present some obstacles to computer scientists' participation in computational science. We see a cultural bias in computer science that inhibits participation. Finally, we indicate areas of mutual interests between computational science and computer science.

TL;DR: In this article, a new system of teaching and learning science, with examples drawn from basic principles of materials behaviour, is shown to be commensurate with the requirements of engineering students.
Abstract: SUMMARY The development of manufactured goods is highly dependent on their basic materials properties. In all aspects of the sciences, materials science and engineering have both a direct and indirect influence on the final properties and performance of manufactured products. It is only during the later years of high school study that aspects of science describing materials behaviour become relevant to later studies in engineering. Students must attain a basic understanding of scientific principles to be able to master the rigours of tertiary engineering studies. A new system of teaching and learning science, with examples drawn from basic principles of materials behaviour, is shown to be commensurate with these requirements. It is our responsibility as educators to develop graduates who are effective in the workplace and understand the relevance of materials to engineering.
