Visvesvaraya Technology University (VTU), in association with Intel Corporation, created a multicore curriculum revision for its undergraduate courses. This unique initiative will bring about a revolutionary change in the teaching of microprocessors and their programming in undergraduate engineering courses run by colleges affiliated to VTU. The revision of curriculum aims at integrating parallel programming at the undergraduate level to prepare future software developers to write codes on emerging technologies. Educating the next generation of software developers is imperative to unlocking the power of multi-core processor technologies. Educational institutions at the undergraduate, graduate, and even high school level need to embrace new techniques and methods to prepare the software developers of tomorrow.

The Intel Academic Community team has been working closely with professors of Computer Science, Engineering at University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering and the Marshall School of Business, to bring parallelism into the curricula at both the undergraduate and master-levels. Seven newly revamped courses will give students better understanding, experience and sophistication in writing and debugging multi-threaded code.

Grants for the latest hardware and software as well as program support are being provided by Intel to assist with the transition and pilots in what is truly a bold reformatting of the University's curricula.
