While they acknowledge that they’ve learned a lot from participating in the research project, they believe that future projects have opportunities to contribute more to an increased understanding of HPC and engineering. All projects are computational in nature, and some of our students are not comfortable with the amounts of mathematical, engineering or programming background required. Challenges like this take away time for practicing HPC skills. Above all, since the duration of this REU site is only a short 10 weeks, so mentors and site directors must be mindful of what can be reasonably accomplished during the 10 weeks and set the
