get students to be familiar withthese concepts to develop the course project. The instructor divided the class into teams. Eachteam member had a primary task with his/her team and a secondary task with other teams. Eachteam selected a team leader. The role of team leaders was assigning a task to each team member,clarifying the procedures of each task, solving problems, and providing a weekly progress reportto the project manager, the instructor. The tasks are based on Software Development Life-Cycle(SDLC) phases. These phases are planning, implementation, testing, documenting, Deployment,and maintenance. The students trained on each of these phases.At the same time, the instructor initiated IT Research Methodology that the students

night due date for summative assessments. Anecdotally, two students reported that theThursday night deadline was difficult because of their work schedules. This was significant tothe author, as students tend to plan their schedules to free up weekends for homework. Becausethe schedule of the flipped classroom is so different from that of other courses, students mayhave a more difficult time scheduling a wider range of deadlines. Page 24.181.7 19% Fair Unfair

Precisely because of theholistic nature of a well-designed capstone, all SOs can reasonably be expected to be manifestedvia completion of a capstone project. This confluence accounts for the suitability of the capstoneor Senior Project course as a medium for assessment of the program.Our BS-CS program utilizes assessment of SOs in the Senior Project course as one component ofits assessment plan. Other components include course-embedded assessment via quizzes andapplication of specialized rubrics to course artifacts; in addition, indirect measures are obtainedby surveying students, instructors, alumni and employers. In the remainder of this section, thestructure of

It canalso be used as an educational resource in algorithm manipulation, and/or further codedevelopment, regarding the choice of mixed-mode (MPI-OpenMP) versus direct MPIimplementations. Future WorkAs a future work we plan to benchmark for memory efficiency, where the mixed-mode approachcould have an advantage, and to advance our code optimization efforts seeking an increasedperformance for both techniques. ConclusionsBy using MPI for distributing data to

Environment (XSEDE) Conference in Atlanta,Georgia. The 2015 cohort participated in the student program at XSEDE15 Conference, in St.Louis, Missouri, in the 2015 NC/SC REU Site Mini-Symposium in Charleston, South Carolina,and presented their research projects to incoming freshmen to encourage them to consider addinga research experience to their academic plans. These opportunities took place as part of theVisREU Experience, rather than after completion of the program—another unique feature of the2014/2015 VisREU Experience.Survey Research Instrument The A La Carte Student Survey Toolkit [27] is used to collect and report evaluation datafrom the VisREU Site. Survey instrument scales correspond to recommended indicators found tobe common among

A top term isthen chosen from Termediator’s list of potentially dissonant terms across the selected domains.Each discipline’s definition is listed in order to see the discrepancy between each team member’sunderstanding of the term.5.2.1 IT + SSE + IS + SEThe top dissonant term in this team using “cosine complete” similarity-linkage is:“risk” • IT: A condition or action that may adversely affect the outcome of a planned activity19 • SSE: Combination of the probability of an event and its consequence22. • IS: The level of impact on organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation
