Topics covered include parallelization and distributionmodels, parallel/distributed architectures, cluster and networked meta-computing systems,distributed programming and applications, and performance analysis.The course strikes a balance between four elements: lecture, student presentation, independentresearch, and hands-on programming experience. The lectures cover fundamental issues and thecurrent research in distributed and parallel computing [4,18]. Going through a recent book, "TheGrid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure" written by over 30 distinguished experts inhigh-performance computing and networking [9], students then gain a clear vision of

Clearly, projects such as these are central to developing the design, problem solving andproject management skills that are lacking in the traditional engineering coursework. Often miss-ing, however, in the industry and faculty sponsored design projects, is the spirit of invention, inno-vation and entrepreneurship. One way to promote the entrepreneurial spirit is to provide studentswith the opportunity to propose their own original enterprises.
