departments of computer science and engineering. Her interests focus on broadening participation in computer science and engineering through the exploration of: 1) race, gender, and identity; 2) discipline-based education research (with a focus on computer science and computer engineering courses) in order to inform pedagogical practices that garner interest and retain women and minorities in computer-related engineering fields.Prof. Zahra Hazari, Florida International University Zahra Hazari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning and the STEM Trans- formation Institute as well as an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Physics. Dr. Hazari’s research focuses on reforming physics

lab and met faculty and graduate students in the department. The programculminated in a Hackathon where teams of up to five students developed an application of theirchoosing and then presented their product to other students and three judges (the professorleading the program, a teaching assistant, and the institution’s chief software engineer). Havingannounced the Hackathon at the end of the day prior to the competition, the lead professor notedthat students had – without prompting – self-selected their own teams by the start of the nextsession that essentially divided students into all-male teams and teams of women with one malestudent. Interestingly, the two teams of mostly women took first and second place, the latter ofwhich consisted of

environments. Reasons such as this have created a shortage of qualified workforce to conduct the much-needed research and development in these areas. This paper describes our experience with mentoring a cohort of ten high achieving undergraduate students in Summer 2019 to conduct engineering HPC research for ten weeks in Clarkson University. Our mentoring activity was informed and motivated by an initial informal study with the goal to learn the roles and status of HPC in engineering research and what can be improved to make more effective use of it. Through a combination of email surveys, in-person interviews, and an analysis of faculty research profiles in Clarkson University, we learn several characteristics of their research

the number of attendees based on availability of physical computer labs.Additionally, the decision was made to decrease the cost of the camp from $100 the previousyear to free in order to provide the opportunity of attendance to a more diverse population andenrollment was increased to 80. Within approximately 72 hours the camp was filled. Within aweek there was a waitlist of 100 at which point no other students were added to the waitlist.Delivery OverviewIt became apparent in May that a face-to-face in person delivery would not be possible due toCOVID restrictions. At that point the decision was made to pivot to a 100% virtual delivery.Several options were explored including synchronous, asynchronous and hybrid (i.e. partsynchronous and part

Engineering and Sciences (AES) department. Thecollege is part of a larger university and being an urban commuter campus, its mission is as muchon giving students real-world experiences as it is on providing a sound liberal arts education.With a setting in the largest city in the state, many opportunities arise for students to enhancetheir post-graduate skills with an extensive professional development curriculum. With over 25years of history supporting Capstone, faculty members in the AES department have formulatedseveral approaches to this professional development. From a more traditional approach ofhosting a semester long project where students are embedded with industry partners, toindividual or small group projects either with a faculty member or

The authors stress the importance of data visualization to support decision-making. To add to the complexity, some workers can and will take on more than one role,especially in small and medium-sized organizations.What we have referred to as ‘workforce needs’ may be more correctly characterized as growthpotential, in the sense that most industries are still capturing only a fraction of the potential valuefrom data and analytics [2].
