How exactly do you propose we get those experts, if colleges aren't capable of training them?

Many universities have graduate and undergraduate computational science programs now. https://www.siam.org/Students-Education/Resources/For-Undergraduate-Students/Detail/graduate-and-undergraduate-programs-in-computational-science https://www.siam.org/Students-Education/Resources/For-Underg...

The material is too specialized for undergrad. However colleges can prepare those who are talented and interested in the subject matter for further studies. Many experts in numerical analysis start specializing in graduate school, and then acquire their expertise through postdocs, academia and industry experience.
