Combined Research-Curriculum Development in Advanced Computation

小行星9420592 摘要 宾夕法尼亚州立大学的工程学院、科学学院和地球与矿物科学学院的教师联合起来开发了一门高级计算课程，强调并行计算机的能力和用途。 该计划的目标是培养高级计算的本科生和研究生。 这将通过开发一系列本科生和研究生课程来实现，这些课程涉及不同并行机的实际使用，课堂使用的软件演示的开发以及高科技教室的使用。 该课程将形成一个新的“高性能计算未成年人的基础。“该课程将由不同部门和学院的教师讲授，并将强调跨学科边界的高性能计算的共同方面。 该项目将由一个外部咨询小组进行评估，该小组的成员来自学术界和工业界，具有先进计算和教学法方面的专门知识。 学生评价将被开发和管理。 有关该项目的信息将通过以下方式提供：提供外部电子访问，以计算机为基础的课堂演示;通过优秀教育和领导才能学校工程联盟进行宣传;为教员举办培训讲习班;以及编制和分发传统课程材料。 ***

9420592 Morris ABSTRACT The faculty in the Colleges of Engineering, Science and Earth and Mineral Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University have combined to develop a curriculum in advanced computation that emphasizes the capabilities and uses of parallel computers. The goal of the program is to train undergraduate and graduate students in advanced computation. This will be achieved through the development of a sequence of undergraduate and graduate courses that involve the hands-on use of different parallel machines, the development of software demonstrations for class use, and the use of high-technology classrooms. The courses will form the basis for a new "Minor in High Performance Computation." The course will be taught by faculty in different departments and colleges and will emphasize the common aspects of high performance computation that cross the boundaries between disciplines. The project will be evaluated by an external advisory panel with members drawn from academia and industry with expertise in advanced computation and pedagogy. Student evaluations will be developed and administered. Information about the project will be available by provision of external electronic access to computer-based classroom demonstrations, by publicity through the Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership (ECSEL), through training workshops for instructors, and through the development and distribution of traditional course materials. ***
