Future directions include thedevelopment of GEOPort, an individual and team work documentation tool. This will transformGEO from a registration and communication tool into an education research tool. Teammembers will be able to post text, pictures, or video in response to instructor-posted materials,and to document their progress on projects and assignments. Rubrics can be developed to gradeonline submissions, and to track student approaches to design, problem-solving, and teamdynamics.IntroductionGEO (General Engineering Online) is a web-based software system

This course is required of all students at junior standing in thefollowing engineering majors: civil, chemical, computer, electrical, mechanical, optical, and softwareengineering. Our research questions are founded on the notion that peer reviewing conducted on paper(hard copies of draft documents) differs from peer reviewing that occurs on the writing surface of atablet computer (an electronic copy of the draft document that the student then marks up with a penstylus or comments on with reviewing tools in Microsoft Word).

In thispaper, we describe a parallel computing unit that is designed to dovetail with the discussion ofprocess and thread management common to operating systems courses. We also describe a set ofself-contained projects in which students explore two parallel programming models, POSIXThreads and NVIDIA’s Compute Unified Device Architecture, that enable parallel architecturesto be utilized effectively. In our experience, this unit can be integrated with traditional operatingsystems topics quite readily, making parallel computing accessible to undergraduate studentswithout requiring a full
