1 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org Curriculum Development for CyberInfrastructure (CI) : Perspective on Key Issues MSI C(I)^2 SDSC 26June06 Dr. Kris Stewart San Diego State University/California State University System

2 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org SDSU is an MSI (kinda) 2 Curriculum development – CS575 Supercomputing for the Sciences Based on SDSC Summer Institute workshop and computing resources from SDSC Most recent curriculum – 3d Game Programming for Simulation (Torque) NSF EPIC research project and collaboration with SDSC Visualization (S Cutchin) http://www.stewart.cs.sdsu.edu/cs596.html

3 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org CalREN -2... Resources:

4 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org 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 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org 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 U. Wisconsin LEAD for 1998/99 Ed Center evaluation www.cae.wisc.edu/~lead/pages/products/eot-paci.pdf

6 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org 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. Voices that local colleagues listen to (more than you)

7 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org Numerical Analyst* led to Supercomputing and Undergraduate Education (SUE**) led to Supercomputing Teacher Enhancement Program (STEP***) led to Education Center on Computational Science & Engineering (EC/CSE) part of EOT-PACI (1997) ECCSE joins Engaging People in Cyberinfrastructure (EPIC) led to 3d Game Programming (digital natives-JSB) Kris’ Faculty Background (Kris Stewart, Director, San Diego State University, California State University System) * MS/CS SDSU 1979, JPL 1981, PhD UNM 1987, SDSU 1984 ** SDSC (1991); UCES (DoEnergy 1994) *** Smithsonian Research Collection (1996)

8 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org More Outside Wisdom – JSB John Seely Brown – 17Jan05 @ SDSU

9 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org JSB www.johnseelybrown.com Having the credentials that a computer science geek respects (Chief Scientist, Xerox; Director Xerox PARC) Having publications that the education community validates (he joined the HBR debate on “IT matters to Higher Ed”* in letter to editor) *HBR May 2003 IT Doesn’t Matter – Nicholas G. Carr *Does IT Matter to Higher Education? – Jack McCredie, Educause Review Nov02

10 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org Grid Curriculum – Mary Thomas Introduction to Grid Computing rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/mthomas/courses/ spring05/cs696/index.html (all on 1 line)

11 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org Next Step for You Participating in this workshop is excellent to learn first-hand of the resources Attend SC06, join plans for SC07-09 (thanks Scott Lathrop) Assessment is important (for you, your peers, your students) to demonstrate value

12 San Diego State University / Ed Center on Computational Science & Engineering MSI C(I)^2 at SDSC 26-30June06 educationgrid.org Where did it begin? 1998/99 Assessment by LEAD Background Workshop in Wisconsin April 1997 to learn about assessment and make it real to the EOT-PACI (NPACI and NCSA Education Teams) NPACI started 01 October 1997 EC/CSE requested assessment for 1998 project
