Integrating Parallel and Distributed Computing Topics into an Undergraduate CS Curriculum at UESTC

In Fall 2013, we began participation in NSF/IEEE TCPP 2013 Early Adopters Program. This paper presents our efforts to incorporate parallel and distributed computing topics into our undergraduate computer science and engineering curriculum with the guide of the IEEE-TCPP model Curriculum. So far, TCPP recommended curriculum has been integrated eight courses, evaluations show our integration effort is successful. Evaluation also shows that practices such as lab/homework assignment effective improve students' conception, and contest club is a necessary complementarity of in-class courses.
