Academic Plan for CS&E

The academic plan for CS&E should have several key elements, of which we present some below. These elements also impact the development of facilities and organizational structures to support teaching and research; projected needs for faculty FTEs, staff researchers, and technical and administrative support; different options concerning the organizational structure for undergraduate and graduate CS&E training, including curricular development; plans for collaborations with LBNL, LLNL, and potentially SNL; and the relationship between the academic plan for CS&E and the Stage 1 Initiative concerning the Center for Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics. We begin with a discussion of organizational structures for CS&E.
