Students barely mentionedpersonal or social ethics, neither in school nor in the workforce. Organization was a skill thatwas not linked to a particular context but students agreed it to be a skill they had utilizedfrequently. All of the students described their work environment as independent-focused.

TypesThis section provides an overview of several types of cybersecurity competitions. First, red teamevents are discussed; then, blue team events are presented. Next, red versus blue style andcapture the flag competitions are each reviewed. Finally, knowledge competitions and tabletopexercises are summarized.Red Team / Penetration Testing Events – Red team and penetration testing events place studentsin the role of penetration testers or ethical hackers. These types of competitions typically involveidentifying security vulnerabilities in information technology systems to exploit and exploitingthem to gain access to computing resources. Typically, a documentation component is alsoincluded where teams report on the security vulnerabilities that

Sites are also required to offer training in research ethics[1]. Many sites also provide training about how to select and apply to graduate school (e.g., [5]),for students who choose to pursue further education. However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2
