Great seeing you and Kevin again.
I'm attaching stuff for the computational science workshops this
summer. They will probably interest folks teaching freshman
engineering or other intro science courses. All the NOVA people would
be welcomed. The idea is to show people how to use authentic modeling
in STEM....

Best in the coming year...oh yeah, I've got a horrendous cold: must be
Texas....

2003 Summer Workshop Applications are now being accepted
Meet the NCSI Team
NCSI PUSH Events
On-line Press Packets
The Shodor Education Foundation announces the creation of The National
Computational Science Institute (NCSI). NCSI expands the already popular
regional workshops known as the Shodor Computational Science Institute
(SCSI). At over 18 partner sites across the country, NCSI introduces the
hands-on use of computational science, numerical models, and data
visualization tools across the curriculum.
The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year, $2.75M grant
(Award Number: DUE-0127488) enabling NCSI to offer a national set of
in-person, video-conferenced, and web-accessible workshops, seminars, and
support activities. The initial target audience for NCSI are teams of
faculty from predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUI's), minority
serving institutions (MSI's), and community colleges whose students are
either the next generation of scientists and engineers, the next generation
of K-12 teachers, or both. With supplemental funding, NCSI plans to offer
computational science workshops and sponsor educational activities for
in-service teachers, business and government leaders, and the general
public. NCSI participants then assist others on their own campuses and at
neighboring institutions to introduce computational science in their own
classes. NCSI proceeds along three synergistic but distinct routes that can
be modeled as PULL, PUSH, and PERMEATE.
Regionally distributed workshops PULL faculty within a reasonable travel
distance for a week of intense interdisciplinary training, collaboration,
and curriculum development in computational science. Participants explore
the use of modeling and visualization tools in existing courses, while
stimulating creation of new courses and promoting new modes of undergraduate
research. NCSI staff and participants proactively PUSH computational science
and computational science education onto the agendas of professional and
discipline-specific societies, offer workshops, conduct tutorials, present
papers and posters, and serve on program committees. To sustain these
efforts, NCSI works to PERMEATE on-going and proposed undergraduate
curriculum efforts with computational science content. NCSI develops and
provides interdisciplinary and discipline specific web-accessible courses
for faculty enhancement, such as Computational Chemistry for Chemistry
Educators, and resources for interactive exploration including interactive
curricula, problem-based modeling modules, tools, and tutorials.
Shodor's award-winning Computational Science Education Reference Desk
<http://www.shodor.org/cserd/> serves as the organizing structure for
dissemination of NCSI materials.
NCSI operates in partnership with the Education, Outreach and Training
Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (EOT-PACI), The
National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign, Clemson University, Appalachian State University, the
National Computational Science Education Consortium (NCSEC), the Burroughs
Wellcome Fund, Sigma Xi, the North Carolina Supercomputing Center, and more
than two dozen academic institutions, high performance computing c

2003 NCSI Workshops
Summer Schedule
Incorporating Computational Science
into Undergraduate Courses
Registration form now online! Click here to register.
This summer NCSI will be hosting a series of workshops for college and
university faculty who are interested in incorporating computational science
activities into their undergraduate classes. We encourage participation by
faculty new to NCSI, returning NCSI graduates, participants in NCSI/Sigma Xi
workshops, and both college and K-12 participants of the SC02 Education
Program. Where there is space available, other pre-college teachers may also
apply.
The types of workshops being offered include:
First Look Schedule - for faculty who have not attended a previous NCSI
workshop, for those who would like to get an introduction to computational
science tools and techniques across the curriculum, and/or for those
who would like to review (past SCSI or NCSI or SC02 attendees) computational
science at an introductory level
May 11-18 - Norfolk State University, Virginia
May 25-31 - Bethune-Cookman College, Florida
June 15-21 - Centenary College, New Jersey
June 22-28 - Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts
July 6-12 - NCSA - University of Illinois, Illinois
August 3-9 - San Diego State University, California
Second Look Schedule - for those who have attended a previous NCSI or SCSI
workshop, or SC02, who have previous experience with modeling tools,
and/or who would like to review and go deeper into the capabilities, tools
and course module development process, with more hands-on and less
presentation
May 25-31 - Willamette University, Oregon
June 1-7 - University of New Mexico, New Mexico
June 8-14 - Ohio Supercomputer Center, Ohio
June 22-28 - University of Arkansas Little Rock, Arkansas
July 13-19 - High Point University, North Carolina
July 20-26 - Prairie View A&M, Texas (emphasis on clusters)
August 3-9 - Florida State University, Florida
Computational Chemistry Schedule - - for undergraduate faculty who want to
integrate computational science tools and techniques for chemistry into
their courses
June 8-14 - Appalachian State University, North Carolina
July 20-26 - San Jose State University, California
Parallel computing - for undergraduate faculty who want to integrate
parallel methods into their undergraduate courses, and who want to port
applications to parallel environments
June 17 - Washington University, Missouri
Teacher preparation - same basic schedule as "First Look" (see above) with
special emphasis for in-service teachers and for undergraduate faculty who
want to integrate computational science content, methods and resources into
teacher preparation courses
July 20-26 - University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama
Additional discipline specific workshops will be added in the future - stay
tuned for further announcements!

For those who still need a better idea of what modeling can do, here, is an
informative poster <http://www.shodor.org/~dmengelk/SXncsiPoster5.pdf> our
partners at Sigma Xi have created.
