NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING IN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, June 22 - June 28, 2008, University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, TX What are the SC Education summer workshops? ------------------------------------------ The SC Education program provides week-long workshops in High Performance Computing (HPC) education and HPC curriculum development for faculty, administrators, and students. Nanotechnologies and High Performance Computing in Education and Research ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This workshop leverages high performance computing resources and social networks to strengthen nano sciences education and research. Participants in the workshop will be provided with theoretical and practical experiences in this domain to improve their scholarly work and further their disciplines. Workshop topics focus on fundamentals as well as hands-on experience with NanoHub and other computational tools for Nanotechnologies. Who is the intended audience? ----------------------------- The SC Education Program summer workshops are open to undergraduate and graduate educators in all fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, humanities, arts and social sciences, especially those from minority-serving institutions. The summer workshops are also open to high school teachers collaborating with college faculty. Faculty are encouraged to mentor and support undergraduate and graduate students by including them as part of a workshop team. What is the cost involved with attending? ---------------------------------------- Participants are asked to pay a registration fee of $150 and will be required to cover their own travel expenses. Room, board, most meals, and other costs associated with the workshop are covered by the SC Education Program. ** UPDATE -- THE REGISTRATION FEE IS REFUNDABLE ** Due to special arrangements with the SC08 Education Program, the $150 registration fee for the UTEP Nanotechnologies workshop is fully refundable. At the end of the workshop, if you've attended every day and filled out the daily and final workshop surveys, you will receive a refund of the entire registration fee. How do I register? ------------------ Visit http://sc-education.org/workshops/ to register. What is the SC08 Education program? ----------------------------------- The SC08 Education program uses hands-on based workshops to help attendees incorporate computational science and computational modeling into primarily the undergraduate curriculum. Topics may also include high performance computing and communications technologies in support of science and modeling. The intent of the curricular change is to prepare future scientists, technologists, engineers, and teachers. The program culminates in a week-long offering at the SC (Supercomputing) Conference in November.
