IntroductionEngineering plays a vital role in addressing real-world challenges; however, a significantgender imbalance persists in the field, particularly in disciplines such as electricalengineering. Nationally, women constitute only 15.5% of electrical engineering graduates, astark contrast to their representation in environmental (57.8%) and biomedical engineering(51.5%) programs [1][2].

Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

The difference in the number of variables andindependent equations establishes the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) in the system. TheDoF value can be used as a check point on the mathematical reasoning or formulation of theproblem. If the DoF is zero, the solution of the problem is determinate with only one solution;but if V > E, there may be several alternative solutions, which defines the problem as a designcase
