wisely. Undergraduate computer engineering technology students are wellprepared to design and build Beowulf-class PC clusters that can serve this purpose.1. IntroductionDue to the continuing decreases in the prices of commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) computerhardware (PC-class processors and Fast and Gigabit Ethernet switches), and the development offree parallel computer systems software (Linux operating system and MPI software that allowsprocessors to share data with each other via message passing), it has become possible to build apersonal MPP for a relatively modest cost. An example is the Beowulf-class PC cluster1. ABeowulf-class PC cluster consists of one or more front-end workstations, one or more nodeworkstations, and a switch that serves

This represents a set of serial changes in theconscious expression of aspirations. In the end, the goal to become a physician may have beenachieved, but would it not have been achieved sooner if defined earlier? In the pursuit ofknowledge and the furtherance of technology, inspiration is one of the keys to progress.Inspiration may be viewed as the spontaneous occurrence of ideas that occur as a result ofintensive involvement in our areas of choice. This involvement requires a significantcommitment and work, wherein the immediate payback may be far from obvious. Therefore, aconscious

something students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops.
