TODAY’S STUDENT HIRING CHALLENGES
“The skills gap is growing. Demand for automation talent outweighs supply..over the next decade..3.4 million jobs, but only 1.4 million qualified workers.”
Robotics Industries Association (RIA), “Closing the Skills Gap in Automation: A Call for Action”, April 2015
“Globally, demand for data scientists is projected to exceed supply by more than 50 percent by 2018.”
TechCrunch, “How To Stem The Global Shortage Of Data Scientists”, December 2015
“As multi-processor computing continues to grow in the coming years, so too will the role
- f parallel and distributed computing in undergraduate computing curricula.”
ACM and IEEE, “Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in CS”, December 2013

GPU EDUCATORS PROGRAM
Advancing STEM Education with Accelerated Computing
“Teaching resources such as these will be invaluable in helping the next generation of scientists and engineers know how to fully harness the capability of this exciting technology.”
- Dr. Alan Gray, University of Edinburgh
“The GPU teaching kit covers all aspects of GPU based programming.. the epitome for educators who want to float a course on heterogeneous computing using graphics processors as accelerators.”
- Dr. Tajendra Singh, UCLA
“The Teaching Kit covers all the needed content of a GPU/computing course.. The projects and quiz designs are handy, saving a lot of time and effort. Moreover, the whole structure is well organized to lead students step by step in CUDA programming. I highly recommend integrating it into a related syllabus.”
- Dr. Bin Zhou, University of Science and Technology of China
