Teach Computational Science -- not HPCC!
Teach Computational Science -- not HPCC!
- Integration of Computation into the main stream of HE curricula
- The goal of outreach to a broad range of institutions and a broad range of subjects can be accomplished with a more general theme than the original HPCTE mandate – namely the integration of modern computational techniques and technology into education and research.
- The up-front investment will be most fruitful if aimed at upgrading the basic fabric of the HE (Higher Education) enterprise (faculty enhancement, courses with computational modules and specialized “centres” with a computational flavor) which will be continued and enhanced in a natural way after the JISC activity is finished.
- The most successful HPCTE centres implicitly adopted this approach while those taking a narrower view of their charter struggled in their broad outreach activities.
