Abstract :
This paper presents an on-going experience in early introduction to parallelism in the Computing Engineering Degree. Four courses of the second year and a computing centre participate in the experience. The courses are given by three departments. Students are introduced to parallelism for the first time in the second year, and with our experience we aim to approach different topics of parallelism in a coordinated and practical way.
