Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional (CMSP)
Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional (CMSP)
The CMSP (Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional) program, created in 2002 by the National Training and Simulation Association and now significantly updated and improved, provides the Modeling & Simulation industry with its own professional certification. Like the Professional Engineer (PE) or Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications, the CMSP designation signifies competence, skill and experience. It applies to anyone working in the field of Modeling & Simulation - developers, managers, analysts, and users/customers across a broad spectrum of applications and domains. If you consider Modeling & Simulation to be your "profession," you absolutely need to get your CMSP. For more information, go to the following site:

UCF/IST SReal Lab is Mentor for Top 10 High School Student in Annual Intel Corp. Science Talent Search
UCF/IST SReal Lab is Mentor for Top 10 High School Student in Annual Intel Corp. Science Talent Search
Neel Patel, of Geneva, FL, an Oviedo High School senior under IST mentorship was awarded sixth place honors at Intel Corporation's prestigious annual high school research competition, the Intel Science Talent Search.
Patel, who has worked for a year with Darin Hughes at IST's Synthetic Reality Lab, was one of 40 finalists and the only finalist from Florida. His research is on how nonspeech patterns of sounds—sonifications—can convey information. The research could lead to a computer-user interface as revolutionary as the graphical interface was 30 years ago.
Intel, the computer memory chip designer, since 1998 has sponsored the annual talent search, a program of the Society for Science and the Public. The sponsorship is part of the computer giant's long-term commitment to support math and science innovation. The society's talent search has provided a national stage for original research by the country's best and brightest young scientists.

Thanks to all those who attended for some stimulating discussion and fresh ideas. I look forward to these meetings because I believe we are making significant progress and moving the ball forward.
Also, a special thanks to Dr. Ginger Watson, ODU, for sharing the High School Curriculum and Lesson Plans for the M&S course they developed and is underway in the Tidewater area. We expect to continue to coordinate our initiatives with her as we develop M&S curriculum for Florida.
