Tour of the San Diego Supercomputer Center
July 21, 1998

The opportunities for education are extensive. Let me mention a few examples.

• Education Center on Computational Science & Engineering EC/CSE

  Enhancing Undergraduate Curricula with High Performance Computing Tools and Technologies for the California State University System and the National Education Community

  What is the mission of the EC/CSE?

  Foster the incorporation of high performance research tools for scientific investigation into the undergraduate curriculum to better prepare learners for post-Baccalaureate activities where

  • collaborative, interdisciplinary teams,
  • sophisticated computer tools, and
  • effective communication among the team members and with others
  For example, Current Projects

  And our repositories,

  1. Java Applet by Discipline
  2. VRML "Worlds" by discipline

• Supercomputer Teacher Enhancment Program S.T.E.P.
  Steve Wavra, Southwest High, Imperial Beach was part of the tour
  1. Wavra World
  2. Student projects from Wavra's Internet course
  3. M.I.C.E. Wavra's course will use this Collaborative Environment in the classroom

• Science Discovery site crafted by Rose McKeon may be of interest.

• Don Sutton, Scientist, SDSC, also presented
  1. BIONOME
  2. San Diego Bay

The Grand Plan:
