HPC Training
Integrating Computational Science into the Undergraduate Curriculum
CCT, HPC and LONI partnered with the Supercomputing 2008 Education program are hosting a workshop this summer to introduce Computational Science professors and researchers to developing undergraduate curriculum in all disciplines of Computational Science. The SC08 Education program will send four eduators to run this workshop allowing attendees to benefit from the instructors experiences of teaching compuational methods in the undergraduate classroom
The purpose of this workshop is to expose and inspire participants with new techniques, new curriculum and new applications to further Computational Science education. It will further efforts in advancing the computational sciences throughout the undergraduate curriculum and to bring faculty from different disciplines together so that they can learn how to bring computational research into their undergraduate classroom.
Details for Attendees
To register for this workshop go to Integrating Computational Science into the Undergraduate Curriculum Workshop.
There is a registration fee of $150 to attend the workshop. The fee is paid to the SC08 Education Committee. The fee includes the workshop itself, rooms in the LSU dorms and a meal plan within the LSU cafeteria system. You will be in a dorm room alone unless you request otherwise.
