NSF Supported Projects: Parallel Computation as an Integrated Component in the Undergraduate in Computer David Curriculum Science J. John* and Computer Science Department of Mathematics Wake Forest University djj(lmthcsc.wfu. edu Introduction The ACM/IEEE undergraduate curricula in computer science [3] [2] [1] have been used by many departments as initial-models for their Parallel computation is an area which currently appears in the common set of core requirements under several categories, including AL9, 0S10 and PL12 [3] [16]. It is a concept which is powerful, but also beset with obvious and subtle challenges. Practically every area within is currently computer science, from the discussion design of shared memory, with issues related core subjects curriculum Algorithms, data structures, soft ware engineering, programming architecture, languages and to parallel of the class NC to the associated The science value computer scientific Parallel computation. by their undergraduate course of study. Subsequently, each department developed an undergraduate degree program that both fit the interests of the faculty and was perceived as being acceptable with colleagues in other institutions. This process has allowed a diverse collection of computer science majors to be developed with a fairly common set of of core requirements. have attempted common core.
