abstract = {Software development is one of the main routine activities in Computational
Science and Engineering (CSE). Nevertheless, there is a huge gap between
software engineering techniques available and established today in most fields
where mainstream software is developed on the one hand and the typical extent
of their application in a CSE context on the other hand. CSE curricula often
reflect this tendency by not including software engineering topics adequately.
This contribution reports experiences with a new course format called ``student
project'' in the CSE master's program at TU M{\"u}nchen. There, for about half a
year, a group of 4-8 students cooperate on a software development project -
this time dealing with molecular dynamics. Although it is one objective to get
a well performing code, the project's focus is on the consequent application of
software engineering and project management practices.},

abstract = {Simulation of fluid properties and flow below a certain length scale, where the
continuum assumption does not hold any more, has to be done on a molecular
level. Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a proper tool for nanofluidics. The limits of
the system sizes manageable today are pushed not only by advances and
availability of new hardware. It's even more important to achieve enhancements
in the development of fast efficient algorithms and hardware optimized
implementations. High Performance Computing systems and especially Clusters of
Workstations, which turn out to be very well suited for this task, are the
primary target platform for the majority of MD codes today. After a
classification of the flow type addressed here, implementation details and
parallelization strategies will be discussed for MD simulations based on
short-range potentials, suitable for a rich variety of components.},

abstract = {The recently finished project ``Computational Steering - the virtual wind
tunnel'' is a team work of nine software engineering students, who worked one
year to develop a software system for the simulation of wind tunnel tests in a
virtual environment. A special feature of the package is the simulation
steering capability, where not only an online visualization of the CFD
simulation results is provided, but also the possiblity to interact with the
simulation during a run in a Virtual Reality environment. To achieve this goal
an intense use of special HPC and VR hardware is indispensable. The software
runs on a distributed system of parallel architectures and was realized on the
department's Linux CoW ``Mozart'', an SGI Onyx multiprocessor visualization
system driving a Powerwall, and a tracking system for user input. The
development process itself is based on software engineering methods while the
student project imitates all phases of a commercial software production
process.},

abstract = {The university education in parallel and high-performance computing often
suffers from a significant gap between the effects and potential performance
taught in the lectures on the one hand and those practically experienced in
exercises or lab courses on the other hand. With a small number of processors,
the results obtained are often hardly convincing; however, machines crunching
numbers at least a bit are rarely accessible to students doing their first
steps in parallel programming. In this contribution, we present our experiences
of how a state-of-the- art mid-size Linux cluster (64 dual-board P4 nodes with
InfiniBand 4x networking, providing an HPL benchmark performance of almost 0.6
TFlops), bought and operated on a department level primarily for edu- cation
and algorithm development purposes, can be used for teaching a large variety of
HPC aspects such as basics of parallel algorithms, classi- cal tuning, or
hardware-aware programming. Special focus is put on the effects of such an
approach on the intensity and sustainability of learning.},

abstract = {The various educational workshops at CSE-related conferences reveal that there
is an ongoing open discussion on how to define the relevant aspects of this
discipline, on how to integrate the identified topics into the curricula, and,
of course, on how to design suitable course formats - or briefly, how to teach
CSE in an appropriate way. One question more and more addressed in such
discussions is to what extent and how methods established in software
engineering can or even must be adopted. A second evergreen issue (not
restricted to CSE programs, of course) is whether soft skills such as teamwork,
project management, or leadership should be taught in special courses or better
imparted within suitable CSE-related modules.
In this contribution, we report our experiences with project-based and
software-focused CSE education at Universit{\"a}t Stuttgart and at Technische
Universit{\"a}t M{\"u}nchen. In Stuttgart, for the first time, a so-called student
project, a one-year team-oriented module implemented in the ``Software
Engineering'' diploma program, was offered with a CSE flavour - the ``Virtual
Wind Tunnel''. Due to this first project's success, we implemented a similar
format of a CSE-related student project within the ``Computational Science and
Engineering'' master's curriculum at Technische Universit{\"a}t M{\"u}nchen, too. The
discussion of expectations and outcomes covers both the software-related issues
and the main project-related aspects.},
