SC-COSMIC 98 -- Steering Minority Education for the 21st Century (June 25, 1998) and ADMI 98 -- Assessment and Vision (June 26-28, 1998) to be held at Duncan Hall, Rice University |
What is SC-COSMIC?
In January of 1995, an independent school district, a community college, and a group of minority universities and colleges from the south-central United States met at the University of Houston-Downtown to form the South-Central Computational Science in Minority Institutions Consortium (SC-COSMIC). With support from the Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC), SC-COSMIC members work together to strengthen and reform K-16 math and science education and promote computational science education and research. To accomplish these goals, SC-COSMIC members share their unique resources and expertise in curricula reform, interactive learning, multimedia materials, remote databases, and supercomputing.
SC-COSMIC recently submitted to the National Science Foundation a proposal that would provide the necessary broad-scale, systematic network infrastructure to (1) support computational science education reform, (2) disseminate curricula reflecting current advances in computational science, (3) disseminate interactive multimedia learning materials and advanced technologies to K-14 classrooms, and (4) provide services, technical assistance and connectivity among consortium institutions.
For more information on SC-COSMIC, contact Richard Aló (ralo@uh.edu), President and Principal Investigator, or Chenyi Hu (chu@uh.edu), Co-Principal Investigator and Curriculum Coordinator.
The Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC) is officially an educational affiliate, and there will be more educational and industrial affiliates to come.
