DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: A working group from IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing=0A(TCPP), NSF, and the sister communities, including ACM, has taken up=0Aproposing a parallel and distributed computing (PDC) curriculum for computer=0Ascience (CS) and computer engineering (CE) undergraduates. The premise of the working group is that every CS/CE undergraduate should achieve a=0Aspecified skill level in PDC-related topics from the required coursework. =0AWe released a preliminary report in Dec 2010, and have had about four dozen=0Aearly adopter institutions worldwide try the proposed curriculum.  We have=0Aassimilated feedback from these early adopters, stakeholders and the community at large, and are preparing to release its first formal version.=0AThe proposed panel will introduce this curriculum and its rationale to the SC community. Similar panels at HiPC-10, SIGCSE-11, and IPDPS-11 were very successful, frequently arousing audience with passionate arguments and disagreements, but all agreeing to the urgent need.
