Great! Thanks! One more question: if we list courses in the Other Planned Courses section, but later decide not to take them, or take them a different semester than we thought, is this a big deal? Do we have to get approval for that, like for the POS?

Ok. A few questions: 1. If I'm currently a first year grad student, then I would have until Summer 2017 to complete my POS, right? 2. For the POS courses outside of my field (i.e. I'm studying aerospace engineering, so the math and CS courses), are they looking for courses that are pure math/cs, or are they looking for courses in those departments and teach both the theory and the applications? 3. I don't have a lot of experience with HPC yet, but I know my research will require it (theoretical turbulence research). Can anyone recommend a brief source I can read to familiarize myself with the lingo and such? I'm having a hard time trying to formulate an explanation about why HPC will be important to my work (although I think it will)... Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the offer to help, intirb. I noticed that there is another thread for the 2013-2014 DOE CSGF that already has a few replies on it, so I'm gonna head over there to post my question. But I'd appreciate your feedback too...
