Abstract Title: Integrating computational physics into your curriculum using the EP3 guide
Abstract: The EP3 Project (EP3guide.org) seeks to help strengthen and improve physics departments and programs nationwide by building on research and community knowledge and practice. The guide offers advice on a wide variety of topics, from Departmental Culture and Climate to Introductory Courses for STEM Majors, designed to be flexible, not prescriptive, and useful in the wide variety of local contexts experienced by physics programs in the US (and perhaps beyond). After a brief overview of the guide and its use, I will describe the development process for the section on Computational Skills as well as its recommendations and a sample of the ways in which it might be used  to integrate these important skills into the physics curriculum.
