On Friday 10/26, the India Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India's leading engineering school presented the Intel Academic Community ( IAC, DRD, SSG) with courseware for a new MC Programming Class they had developed and announced that they will be scaling this class out to 220 universities in India in 2008. The ceremony took place at the Intel Asia Academic Forum in Delhi and resulted from a multi-year initiative to incorporate parallel programming in undergraduate classes and prepare the next generation of programmers for a Multi-core era. This program is a joint collaboration between Intel Higher Ed and the Intel Academic Community. With 400 Universities world-wide participating this year and 1,000 targeted next year, undergrad students will be able to learn those critical parallel programming skills. Not only did IIT Kanpur create the new courseware but they will be scaling it broadly by training professors throughout India and will be posting it on the Intel Academic Community wiki in order to share and collaborate with universities around the world.
