skills, their personal and interpersonal development, andthe ethical implications of our discipline and its role in society. This course is intended to deepen theinternship experience and to provide a vehicle for professional growth by exploring important questionsin an authentic context. In this project, we study how this combination of an immersive internshipexperience and its companion course shifts students’ perspectives on their studies and future careers. In this paper, we consider the offering of the course in Summer 2018 (enrollment 108 students). Thesestudents were all undergraduate CSE majors. For the majority of these students (104 students), theirsummer internship was their first time working at the company hosting their internship

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

Harden’s curriculum map different biological topics such as hypertension are nested inside amore general topic such as cardiovascular systems 14 .Graph-based methods and hierarchies quickly provide an overview of the curriculum but theydon’t often consider the paths that students take through the curriculum (as measured by studentlearning data) or the temporal aspects such as when in their academic careers students are takingeach course. Including student data is important because the intended curriculum is not alwaysfollowed by students as prescribed. In our review we found two examples that consider thecurriculum temporally. Trimm et al. show students’ risks of not graduating over the course of thecurriculum 26 . Plaza et al. compare

field. However, the higher-level career position, such as theCISO, is fairly new and requires extensive knowledge and skills to ensure success. ManyMaster’s level programs include courses that address these skills in an attempt to provide a well-rounded program of study, but undergraduates who are in the practitioner’s world have otheralternatives to gain these skills. These individuals can gain various certifications, such as theCertified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or the Certified InformationSecurity Manager (CISM). Due to a perceived gap between academics and field knowledge, itappears that academic programs may not fully consider the very specific competencies of C-Suite members (e.g. Chief Information Security
