Whats This?

• 4 year BS degree (_at_ ISU SU, RPI)
• S (Physics Math CS)
• Research Rich for UG (NPACI projects)
• Built on 3 ? CSE courses 1 new others
• Publish Instructional materials
• Incorporate tutorials Applets NASCE (MRA-OSU)
• WWW/CML for CSE courses for ? BS in Physics (?)
• Accessible (XML, MathML) Hispanics

Why Do This?

• Need students know both science HPC
• Black box no longer enough for UG
• Weave HPC into fabric of education
• Need courses adjusted level, content (not
  majors)
• Can do within department
• Stepping stone CP CM,CB,CC in Science (CS
  Engr)
• Graduate programs
• Job Market shortage of IT workers PITAC
