Thus, a new method to interface with thecluster needed to be developed that is designed for engineering students with no experience incluster computing or finite element method. But this was only one part of the solution. A clustercontrol system also had to be developed to allocate nodes and cores on the cluster to a particularanalysis and user. Next, the engineering problem had to be solved using various numericalmethods. Finally, the results needed to be returned to the user and displayed. This all needs totake place in just a few seconds, assuming

Interacting withadvanced computing tools requires a high level of computer literacy. K-12 educators are workingto provide additional enrichment in this area, but it tends to be elective and provided if resourcesallow.Given that schools are providing different opportunities if any, students entering college-levelengineering and computing programs are arriving with a growing diversity of computingexperience. This leads to a frustratingly high range of student capability for introductoryengineering programming courses, making it difficult to design the course to best serve allstudents in the
