EOT Thrust linkages to ET/AT Thrust Areas Gregory Moses NPACI Executive Committee Meeting College Park, MD April 29, 1998

Overarching Goal of NPACI EOT To develop human resources through innovative involvement in computational science and engineering (CS&E).

Four key focus areas Create a systemic impact on CS&E curricula. Increase participation and success of women and minorities in CS&E. Broaden the base of the nation’s HPCC human infrastructure. Provide for ongoing, external evaluation of our education/outreach efforts.

EOT Plan of Attack Work with exemplary programs. Scale to a national level using NPACI resources. Team with NCSA EOT to form EOT PACI. Build infrastructure
