TL;DR: This work focuses on model-driven engineering practices to enable replicable and reusable simulation experiments and proposes that crucial and labor intensive parts of simulation experiments could be supported by model transformations.
Abstract: Simulation experiments are an essential part of computational science and engineering. The use of simulation models is widely adopted by practitioners from diverse areas of applied sciences. Nevert...

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of materials programs in 133 higher education establishments in 13 countries has been made and the results of this survey are not included in the report, but they are available from OECD on request.
Abstract: The report deals with the complex of problems concerning education of materials scientists and materials engineers. The development of materials science is described. It is attempted to estimate the future demand for materials scientists and materials engineers. Educational and organizational aspects of materials science and materials engineering in higher education are discussed. A selection of topics forming a possible core for materials science and materials engineering studies is presented. Finally, university-industry relations in the field of materials are discussed. A survey of materials programs in 133 higher education establishments in 13 countries has been made. The results of this survey are not included in the report, but they are available from OECD on request.

TL;DR: By engineering, in this lecture, I intend the art whereby science is applied to useful ends; by engineering science, that corpus of knowledge— mathematics, physics, chemistry and the like—which is pursued with a view to such practical application.
Abstract: 1. By engineering, in this lecture, I intend the art whereby science is applied to useful ends; by engineering science, that corpus of knowledge— mathematics, physics, chemistry and the like—which is pursued with a view to such practical application. I am not concerned to defend these definitions, only to make my meaning clear. Such as they are, their distinction between engineering and engineering science is analogous with the distinction between clinical medicine—the art—and medicine—the science of our medical schools and research centres. As engineering advances the scope of engineering science advances too, and roughly (I suppose) it may be said that the engineering science of any given time is the physics of fifty years before. Thus its field of study now is very much the same as that of nineteenth-century physicists like Kelvin, Stokes or Rayleigh: in ‘field physics’ (of which my lecture treats this afternoon) we are concerned with problems in hydrodynamics, elasticity and the like such as make up the bulk of their collected papers. There is, however, this difference in our outlook (and it arises because our science is directed to practical ends) that we would rather have power to calculate approximately for any data than power to calculate exactly for data of a few restricted kinds .
