2003 NCSI Workshop Information

The types of workshops being offered include:

• First Look Schedule - for faculty who have not attended a previous NCSI workshop, for those who would like to get an introduction to computational science tools and techniques across the curriculum, and/or for those who would like to review (past SCSI or NCSI or SC02 attendees) computational science at an introductory level
• Second Look Schedule - for those who have attended a previous NCSI or SCSI workshop, or SC02, who have previous experience with modeling tools, and/or who would like to review and go deeper into the capabilities, tools and course module development process, with more hands-on and less presentation
• Computational Chemistry Schedule - - for undergraduate faculty who want to integrate computational science tools and techniques for chemistry into their courses
• Parallel computing - for undergraduate faculty who want to integrate parallel methods into their undergraduate courses, and who want to port applications to parallel environments
• Teacher preparation - same basic schedule as "First Look" (see above) with special emphasis for in-service teachers and for undergraduate faculty who want to integrate computational science content, methods and resources into teacher preparation courses
• Additional discipline specific workshops will be added in the future - stay tuned for further announcements!

All workshops begin late Sunday afternoon on the starting days listed below (please plan on arriving before before dinner on Sunday), and end after lunch on Saturday (the presentations Saturday are part of the workshop and are an essential element; please do not plan to leave before noon). The evening lab times are part of the schedule, so local attendees should plan accordingly.

Generic Workshop Schedule: Why are these called "workshops"? Some people come to work, some people come to "shop"! All times are approximate and subject to change based on meal schedules, local preferences, special events, etc.

These workshops are made possible, in large part, with funding from the National Science Foundation in support of participation by undergraduate faculty. K-12 teachers that attended the SC02 Education Program will have a portion of their costs covered by that program. Questions about SC02 support for K-12 teachers should be sent to Scott Lathrop - [email protected]

Other K-12 teachers that are able to secure their own funding are eligible to attend.

For those who still need a better idea of what modeling can do, here, is an informative poster our partners at Sigma Xi have created.
