such asusing library resources efficiently, ethics in research, scientific communication skills,information about applying to and planning for graduate education, funding sources forgraduate education, and industry careers. The students also participated in social events suchas a welcome picnic and a trip to a state park.Literature ReviewResearchers have found that educational benefits to students participating in undergraduateresearch experiences are improvements in communication and research skills, ability toperform teamwork, and motivation to pursue advanced degrees (Bauer & Bennett, 2003;Lopatto, 2004; 2007). Large gains in “clarification or confirmation of career/education paths”and personal/professional domains (such as “thinking

ledby the education director of ASSIST and including faculty representative from each engineeringdepartment at the University. This minor requires 18 credit hours, which includes a junior levelrequired introductory course, three technical electives, and two general education electivesemphasizing diversity, ethics, and global issues. The technical electives come from a variety ofengineering departments and taught by faculty performing research in nanoscience andtechnology. Students are required to choose at least one technical elective outside of their homedepartment. From their preliminary evaluation results of their introductory course indicates thatstudents’ attitude toward nanoscience and technology is positive. Students from

not be true. We have added some catalyst strategies during class study, the observation is very interesting. Third, collaboration and ethics. WReSTT-CyLE is an environment that emphasizes the collaborative learning strategy through a team based approach. At the same time, as an online learning environment, out of class study would be suitable for students and is one of the main purposes of this project. Does the organic collaboration bring efficient results and learning outcomes? Does gamification emphasize independent and team wide learning? Is each team learning on an independent based XP? If some of the answers to the above questions are no, how do we adjust the bias in the results?After the study, we retrieved the data and

Thus, having disciplinary knowledge is not enough. Today’s workplacerequires applying such knowledge towards analysis, decision-making, and problem solvingwithin a complex environment6-8. 2Formal Education and Computing Professionals’ Needs It is therefore unsurprising that, in the Computing Science Curricula 2013 final report, theJoint Task Force on Computing Curricula9 stated that The education that undergraduates in computer science receive must adequately prepare

and research objectives of theprogram. Fifteen students (out of 22, from the combined cohorts) participated in student postersessions at XSEDE.RECOMMENDATIONS The VisREU Site continued to improve and build on the success of the previous year.Student feedback helped to shape promising practices for future implementations. Promisingpractices from the 2014/2015 VisREU Site experience for research methods, studentpresentations, faculty presentations, and student mentoring are detailed below.Research Methods Students were required to complete the research and ethics training within the first weekof the program. The online training is part of the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative(CITI) provided by the University of Miami
