PARALLEL COMPUTING CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP July 19 - 24, 1991 Colgate University sponsored by National Science Foundation UParCC Colgate University The purpose of this workshop is to develop modules for teaching parallel computing at the undergraduate level, with an emphasis on laboratory units. Participants will be asked to submit and present a module which they have developed. About half the workshop will be devoted to presentations and half to discussion and further develo- ment of the modules. After the workshop, participants will be asked to submit revised versions of their modules for incorporation into a collection for dissemination to computer science educators. The four principle investigators for the project, Chris Nevison (Colgate Uni- versity), Paul Tymann (SUNY Oswego), Michael Schneider (Macalaster College), and Daniel Hyde (Bucknell University), will be responsible for editing the collection of materials with a view to publication in the near future. We hope to have a followup workshop in the summer of 1992 if support can be obtained. Participants will be encouraged to use draft versions of the modules in their teaching for evaluation. An NSF grant will cover travel and room and board costs for the workshop. Participants will receive a stipend of $250 after submission of their revised module. There may be limited funds to support attendance by individuals who want to become involved with the project but do not have a module to submit at this time. Please write to inquire. To Apply: Send a draft or an abstract of your module and a brief resume including your experience with parallel computing and your experience teaching parallel computing and your module in particular to Chris Nevison Curriculum Development Project Computer Science Dept.
