and techniques ofvisualization should begin early; consequently, the idea for a summer research experience forundergraduates in visualization was born. The goal of the research site is consistent with the goalof the NSF-REU program: to provide promising undergraduate students with a complete,mentored research experience, to better prepare these students for graduate school orprofessional pursuits and encourage them to pursue a career in science [15]. The impact ofundergraduate research experiences have been well documented [16], [17], [18], [19]. Facultymembers generally agree that there are significant educational benefits to the undergraduateresearch experience [20], [21]. Students are thought to develop expertise in a specific area

-level Instructional Course Modules Designed to Inspire Computer Science InterestAbstractRecent research regarding university student perceptions of “Computer Science” as a field ofstudy and their motivation to pursue such studies as a career opportunity reveal studentmisconceptions and lack of motivation. Many students report that they regard the study ofcomputer science as narrowly equivalent to “programming”. Moreover, many are notconsistently provided the opportunity to realize the true impact of the field within their entry-level courses since these early courses tend to focus on programming and syntax skilldevelopment. It is not until they are in their upper-level courses that they gain a broaderunderstanding and by
