the College of Technology atPurdue University is in the process of developing a new curriculum in the areas of highperformance computing and cyberinfrastructure. This effort, which is a collaborative effort thatincludes faculty from across the College of Technology as well as researchers and faculty fromPurdue University Discovery Park, and Rosen Center for Advanced Computing, is working tointegrate research and development efforts in the area of cyberinfrastructure and highperformance computing that are taking place across campus, which are focused on developinginformation technology solutions to address significant problems in science and engineering.As part of this effort, two years ago the College initiated plans to develop a research

of the two full-time lab coordinators tasked withmanaging the day-to-day course activities. The size of the course is not trivial, and the effortrequired to implement any component of the curriculum is time consuming.One of the largest pieces of that curriculum are Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs). MEAs arerealistic, open-ended, client-driven problems that require teams of students to develop a memo tothe client describing a procedure for solving the problem. When MEAs were first implementedin 2002, the goal was to investigate improving gender equity through small group mathematicalmodeling1. To facilitate their work during the initial research, students developed a single draft

The increasing computational scaleand complexity have created an increased demand for greater computational capacity and storageresources. This trend in computational demand has naturally led to a significant increase in theuse of HPC and supercomputing to provide an effective computational platform on which tosolve these problems.4-9 In the past, supercomputing systems were designed and builtexclusively from custom-engineered components, and thus they were rare and expensive
