"Supercomputing in the Undergraduate Curriculum"
Ken King
EDUCOM
4:00pm, Wednesday, May 31
Wherever computing is going, the supercomputing community should
get there first, and today's supercomputer power will fit on a
student's desktop in ten years. That technological imperative
forces the supercomputing community to take a leadership role in
defining the curriculum to train students for the 21st century.
The speaker will argue that the curriculum needs to be revised
radically, and will offer proposals toward that end.
Ken King is president of EDUCOM, the academic-industrial
consortium championing high technology in higher education. He
has served as vice president of Cornell, vice chancellor of CUNY,
and director of computing at Columbia. He earned his doctorate in
theoretical physics at Columbia.
