Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is included in the Computer Science Curriculum 2013 from ACM and IEEE Computer Science and hence required for ABET Computer Science programs, 2019 to 2020. It is a challenge to incorporate PDC into an existing full Computer Science program. In this paper, we examine the feasibility and challenges of introducing PDC thinking at the lower level or upper level and evaluate the effectiveness of various PDC learning and teaching methodologies. Further, we propose possible teaching strategies and techniques for introducing PDC topics for both lower and upper-level undergraduate students.
