Abstract
In this paper, we share our experience in the development of successful programs focused on promoting high performance computational tools in undergraduate science education, and among high school teachers. The two NSF-supported projects we will describe, are the Education Center on Computational Science and Engineering, established on the campus of SDSU two years ago, and STEP, the Supercomputer Teacher Enhancement Program. Both projects have been evaluated, using a variety of questionnaire surveys and interviews. This gave us the material to assess what worked and what didn't, and share the lessons we learned. Pre-service teachers fall in the gap between the target audiences of these two projects. We believe that some of the tried and proven techniques used in our two projects are applicable to pre-service teacher education, and argue for the need of a project focused on integrating high-performance computing technologies in teacher preparation. A replicable project of this nature would address the widening gap between the rapidly changing computing environment and needs of the marketplace, on the one hand, and the awareness of teachers and their students of such changes, on the other hand.
