Presentation Transcript

  1. Assertions • University departments are stove-piped • Updating of curriculum takes years • Computer science • Design the hammer, but don’t build anything • Engineering and science curricula • Emphasis on theory, not problem solving • Faculty have missed the parallel computing revolution • Not enough emphasis on use of computations in course work • Universities/faculty need to recognize that computations is the third leg of research • You can not get a Ph. D. for writing software

  2. Approaches • Change the undergraduate curriculum • Require engineering and science students to take courses in • Numerical algorithms • Computer architectures • Programming techniques for scientific computing • Require computer science students to take courses in • Numerical algorithms • Science and engineering • Encourage interdisciplinary studies • Recognize that software is as valuable as a research paper • NSF continuing efforts to foster change • A big plus
