A web-based, parallel, finite element computer code, TeraScale_Dysac,developed through a National Science Foundation (NSF) Information Technology Research(ITR) grant for predicting behavior of earth structures during earthquakes was used in this designcompetition. Students in an AP Geology class were requested to design the geometry of an earthdam to minimize the volume of earth and to satisfy the specified deformation criteria during anearthquake. The students used the full version of TeraScale_Dysac over the web, but thestudents were not required to vary more difficult input parameters such as the material propertiesand varied only the geometry of the dam.Pre- and

AM evolved from rapid prototypingtechniques, which have been in existence since the 1970’s. Advancement in 3D printingtechnologies and materials, combined with expiration of key technology patents in the early 2000’sled to the accelerated transition of rapid prototyping techniques into a viable manufacturingprocess for more sophisticated conceptual prototypes, functional prototypes, and end use parts.Starting from the CAD model of a part, AM workflow starts by slicing the model into 2D layersof small thickness followed by creating the part layer by layer using different forms of materialand

When AI algorithms run on high-performance cyberinfrastructure (CI),such misbehaviors can multiply to obscure the root causes. Secure, safe, and reliable (SSR)computing principles can mitigate these problems.

learning is more fun. However, the expectationsfor this new course were high: to provide knowledge on a broad set of electrical and computerengineering principles while allowing students to gain hands-on experience, which will likelymotivate further learning. Since this is an introductory course, students would need supervisionand support during their labs. With each class being 53 minutes long and the need for labactivities during that time, there was not much time left to provide a full lecture on the topic ofthe day. This need led to a flipped classroom approach.The flipped classroom approach requires the student to learn the new material in the coursebefore each class via instructor-generated reading or electronic media and to complete
