Abstract:

Parallel computing is a new knowledge area in the 2013 ACM-IEEE curricular recommendations. This paper describes our experiences adding a brief module on parallel Haskell to the undergraduate programming languages courses at two colleges. We offer suggestions for others wishing to introduce parallelism in such courses.
