Welcome to the SC09 Conference

• The conference welcomes a broad spectrum of
  attendees from all professions related to HPC,
  including corporate, research, and educational
  institutions. Four Communities Programs have been
  developed to improve the SC conference experience
  and provide you with new insights into RD
  efforts in high performance computing,
  networking, data, and related activities and
  their applications to science and engineering.

Welcome to the SC Education Program

• A year-long program to support sustained
  integration of computational science resources,
  tools and methods into teaching and learning in
  all subjects at all levels of learning.
• We will keep you informed as opportunities for
  engagement become available.
• We ask that you keep us informed of your
  challenges, your progress, and any materials you
  have to share with the community.
• Please help convey the value and impact of the SC
  Conference to your students and colleagues!

  20-30 years
• Use the SC experience to gain insights for
  preparing your students to advance science and
  engineering
• Build a larger community sharing successful
  strategies for integrating computational science
  into teaching and learning at all levels

What do your students see in their future?

• Become change agents in your community
• Each team is asked to develop a plan for action
  for next steps after you leave SC09
• Challenge us!

• Engineering
• Mathematics
• Parallel computing

28
Special Track

• What the heck is he talking about track?
• After lunch networking session
• Ask presenters for topics to meet to discuss your
  questions or to provide individual help
• Meet with others with your interests to discuss
  implementation of computational science in the
  classroom

29
Tools and Examples

• One final way to look at the agenda which tools
  and methods are being applied
• Wide range of approaches
• General purpose Excel, Vensim, MATLAB,
  Mathematica
• Discipline oriented applications e.g.
  bioinformatics, computational chemistry, COMSOL
  multi-physics
• Should look over the agenda and see if there are
  sessions relating to particular tools that may be
  of interest to you
