DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The Blue Waters Undergraduate Petascale Education Program, a collaborative effort of the NCSA Blue Waters project and the National Computational Science Institute, recognizes the need for new approaches within the undergraduate classroom in order to promote interest and understanding in petascale computing and its applications. To address this need, the program has been supporting the development of undergraduate curriculum modules that are designed to prepare current and future generations of students with the computational thinking skills, knowledge and commitment to advance scientific computing through the use of high performance computing resources and environments. This session will provide an overview of these efforts and the materials currently available for use in the undergraduate classroom, as well as of materials being developed and possibilities for collaboration.
