Faculty Development Workshops for Integrating PDC in Early Undergraduate Curricula: An Experience Report
DescriptionParallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) has become pervasive and is now exercised on a variety of platforms. Most students in computer science (CS) and computer engineering (CE) programs are still introduced to computational problem solving using an old model, in which all processing is serial and synchronous, with input and output via text using a terminal interface or a local file system.
Teaching a range of PDC knowledge and skills at multiple levels in CS and related CE curricula is essential. The authors of this paper conducted a series of week-long faculty training workshops on the integration of PDC topics in CS1 and CS2 classes, and this paper provides an experience report on the impact and effectiveness of these workshops. Our survey results indicate such faculty development workshops can be effective in gradual inclusion of PDC in early computing curricula.
