    In their words: Student feedback on an international project collaboration
    (ACM, 2010) Chidanandan, A.; Russell-Dag, Lori; Laxer, C.; Ayfer, Reyyan
    In this paper, we describe a collaborative course experience between students from universities in the USA and Turkey. Student teams worked together on a software engineering project for a non-profit organization based in Turkey. The students learned valuable skills in team-work, collaboration-facilitating software tools and working with peers from a different culture and a different time-zone. At the end of the course, in a focus group, students were asked for feedback regarding the course and its outcomes. In this paper, we describe the course from the student perspective. From this, and the instructor's experiences we provide a list of guidelines. Copyright 2010 ACM.

    Multicore education through simulation
    (IEEE, 2009-07) Öztürk, Özcan
    This paper presents the experiences using a commercial full system simulation platform - Simics - in a graduate Chip Multiprocessors class. The Simics platform enables students and researchers to do research on computer architecture, operating systems, and hardware/software cosimulation. It provides the ability to simulate machines that are not physically available. This platform has been used in Chip Multiprocessors course to help graduate and undergraduate students in related areas. This course deals with both hardware and software issues in Chip Multiprocessors, and concludes with a team project at the end of the semester. The simulation-based approach was successful when student feedback and final projects are considered. ©2009 IEE.
