There should some substantial contribution of scientific computing tools and techniques to a substantive scientific or engineering problem. For example, this could include model simulation, model testing, developing scientific visualization tools, developing machine learning tools for data mining, adapting tools for high performance computing platforms, developing new tools for large-scale data handling and analysis. Applying common data analysis techniques or performing minor adaptations of existing experimental techniques, even if they require some modest amount of programming, would typically not be sufficient to count towards the minor.
