From Revised Version of Physics and Engineering Education and Outreach with Modern Information Technology HPCC Seminar Series at Penn State -- Jan 25 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1) New Curriculum: Internetics Concept as novel and powerful way of linking Computing to Applications
  • Concept generalizes computational science
  • An Internetics Certificate which we will offer over Internet both in USA and internationally
  • Interest in Integration with physics for new degree options
2) Improved curriculum in existing fields as in Physics-NPAC-Engineering-Cornell Collaborative Applets and web-based simulations
3) NeatTools for universal access allowing those with disabilities to be effective teachers and learners
4) TangoInteractive and WebWisdom as web-based distance education technology to allow broad dissemination of curriculum starting locally
  • Ongoing experience using technology
5) Collaboration with NSF PACI (NCSA,UCSD supercomputer centers) to accelerate national outreach and ensure top quality
6) Note NPAC was once a parallel computing center -- now 40% of its activities are either delivery of or technology development for education
