North Carolina students are learning and applying grid computing techniques in the first undergraduate-level grid computing course with numerous geographically distributed participating sites. This course, which was classroom-tested in 2004 and 2005, includes state-of-the-art presentations from internationally known guest speakers. The second part of this article appears in IEEE Distributed Systems Online's July 2006 Education department.
