2007 Workshops


Shodor > NCSI > 2007 Workshops

With funding provided by the XSEDE program, and with additional funds from NCSI, there is no fee to attend any NCSI workshop this year.

Bridging mathematics, computing, and quantitative science with biology for undergraduate education: A workshop for 21st Century biology education.
This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn about and share new ideas, materials, and tools for integrating mathematics and physical sciences with biology through computational tools and resources. There will be ample opportunity for hands on work in launching and enhancing teaching materials. There will be three components to the workshop:

Conceptual foundations and use of bioinformatics and simulation tools
Existing examples of incorporation of bioinformatics and simulation tools in teaching
Development of new materials.

Green's Function Monte Carlo 40th Anniversary Symposium
GFMC40 is a two-day symposium to honor Malvin H. Kalos, taking place on May 11 and 12th, 2007. The symposium is celebrating Malvin's more than 40 years of contributions to condensed matter physics, Monte Carlo methodology and computational science. The event will be held at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, where much of the development and application of Green's function Monte Carlo took place.

Integrating Computational Science into the Undergraduate Curriculum
The goal of the workshop is to give faculty, from a variety of fields, the foundation for incorporating computational science into their undergraduate courses. The workshop is intended for faculty who have used some computational science tools in their research or teaching, or have completed an introductory workshop on computational science. Those completing the workshop will prepare or adapt at least one instructional module to use in their classroom along with an implementation plan for that instruction. The topics that we are prepared to cover if four or more people are interested:

Introduction to Modeling and Simulation
Computational physics
Computational chemistry
Structural modeling
Computational fluid dynamics
Computational biology

Introduction to Interdisciplinary Computational Science Education for Educators
For persons interested in an in-depth introduction to computational science tools and techniques as may be applied in undergraduate math and science courses. This level is recommended for persons new to the notion of computational science as well as those who have attended one of the short (1-3 day) workshops such as a Supercomputing meeting or a NCSI campus visit, but still feel they need a detailed introduction.

Parallel and Cluster Computing, with an emphasis on Biology and Chemistry
This workshop will begin with an emphasis on parallel and cluster computing in an educational setting as well as teaching issues in parallel computing. Examples suitable for classroom use will be presented, including both simple codes that can be made available for student modification and more complex examples that use state of the art open source community codes. Participants will learn about the use of the Bootable Cluster CD computing environment, and will receive copies of the BCCD software for their use. Current protocols for parallel programming will be covered.

In addition, participants will have the opportunity to be introduced to computational biology and computational chemistry tools and resources. Participants will be introduced to dynamic modeling, bioinformatics, simulation, molecular modeling, mathematical software and visualization. Participants new to computational science are encouraged to attend. Also, prior participants are encouraged to apply.

Partnership for Integration of Computation into Undergraduate Physics Visioning WORKshop
There are two goals for this workshop;
1. A collection of instructional proto-modules that use computation as an integral part of their learning objectives;
2. A record of critical discourse to support creation of a white paper laying out strategic guidelines for systematic development of a full body of instructional resources that integrate computation into undergraduate physics.
