Based on an application of earlier work by Edwards & Pillapakkam31, Har-el, Thomas, andOchia contended that founders, developers and inventors are the three main types of entrepreneurialengineering identities4. These identities represent the kinds of entrepreneurial engineers that arerequired from the initial stage of conceptualizing needs to the final stage of solution development.These entrepreneurial engineering identities, as referenced by Edwards and Pillapakkam31, and Har-el, Thomas, and Ochia4, can be described as follows:Founders are people who want to create firms/companies

Prairie View A&M UniversityAbstractPhysical simulation today requires fast and efficient parallel computing to achieve the accuracy andperformance. At the core of physical simulation lies the tools and frameworks that are driving it, fromprogramming language, compilation, algorithms and high-performance computing. Python is ahigh-level programming language of choice favored by many developers and researchers since it isvery productive. However, Python is also notorious for its poor performance due to the interpretedmode and its internal global interpreter lock (GIL). In this paper, we overcome the performanceproblem inherited in Python by using three different Python computing libraries. The workdemonstrates that by using the right computing

The University of Texas at Dallas originated in 1969 out of the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies and had graduate programs only. Upper level undergraduates were first admitted in 1975 with Computer Science starting as a small group within Mathematical Sciences. Computer Science grew to about 600 students and moved to the newly founded School of Engineering and Computer Science in 1986 joining a new program in Electrical Engineering.
