SDSU is an MSI
2

• Curriculum development
• CS575 Supercomputing for the Sciences
• Based on SDSC Summer Institute workshop and
  computing resources from SDSC
• Current curriculum
• 3d Game Programming for Simulation (Torque)
• NSF EPIC research project and collaboration with
  SDSC Visualization (S Cutchin)

Building the Community of Faculty

• The challenges are people-centric, not
  technology-centric and of interest to the HPC
  community
• Systemic Change requires understanding the system
  and working within it
• Empower teachers (find the time), recognition
  (from chair/dean), support (student assistants)

5
Assessment not just requirement

• Rather, found to be
• vital tool to assist in clarifying student and
  faculty needs
• improve prioritization skills
• validation of focus on human factors to integrate
  HPC (modeling visualization) into undergrad
  curriculum

Lessons Learned

• Network brings resources to YOUR desktop (or lab
  or class)
• Computer network is community resource with
  individual opportunities responsibilities
• Efforts within your local environment to raise
  awareness, but must credit the external source
• National partnerships, EPIC, EOT-PACI and this
  workshop now (and June). Voices that local
  colleagues listen to (more than you)
