  We discuss the use of both MPI and OpenMP in the teaching of senior
undergraduate and junior graduate classes in parallel programming. We briefly
introduce the OpenMP standard and discuss why we have chosen to use it in
parallel programming classes. Advantages of using OpenMP over message passing
methods are discussed. We also include a brief enumeration of some of the
drawbacks of using OpenMP and how these drawbacks are being addressed by
supplementing OpenMP with additional MPI codes and projects. Several projects
given in my class are also described in this paper.
