University to meet the needs ofthe growing number of face-to-face and distance education students6. Laboratory experiments areuseful in teaching students skills needed for employment, and to reinforce theoretical conceptsintroduced during lectures. However, the students sometimes do not receive timely feedbackbecause it is extremely time-consuming for the instructors to grade the hands-on exercises. Thestudents usually do not have the opportunities to fix the mistakes they made in previous labs dueto lack of timely feedback. These challenges were addressed by the creation of an automatedgrading and feedback system, called BroadReach Extended, for locally designed hands-onexercises in Information Technology (IT) courses.

The ability to addvalue with the addition of creators and producers of technology rather than just creatingconsumers of technology is paramount to equality and success [13]. With this mindset, the initialwork is to expand on the computing outreach topics with cloud computing. This is a new subjectthus the initiative is to first build interest among high school students in the cloud computing fieldas an entry point into the computing/IT field.Cloud Competency-Driven BootcampWe designed a two-week summer bootcamp, held at no cost for high school students with little orno experience in computer science to gain invaluable hands

preliminaryresults led to the hypothesis that students with weak debugging skills are mainly due the isolationprocess. This hypothesis will be tested in a future experiment. Results from such an experimentwill be significant to those who are designing intervention strategies to integrate computationalthinking in science and engineering curricula.BackgroundIn STEM education, computational thinking (CT) has become a critical component in preparingstudents for the technical workforce [1]. Computation is fundamental to science because itrenders rich contexts for solving complex problems in the real world. The overall goal of thisproject is to equip practitioners with the ability to enhance students’ computational skills inSTEM courses, especially in

Additionalminority freshmen also attended the class. The primary purposes of the Academic SuccessWorkshop was to help with the adjustment to being a university freshmen, to ensure that thestudents had someone to talk to should any problems arise by becoming acquainted with Schoolstaff, to assist in forming a support network for the student, to help teach teamwork, to sharpenpresentation skills, and to have an enjoyable experience.1 The students were shown a video tapeseries on making good grades
technical skills required for completing a specific research project under a domain dis-cipline (e.g., proficiency in microcontroller design and programming for electronic engineeringresearch) or it simply listed experiences or background requirements for specific labs or researchdomains (e.g., experience in marsh ecology to support modeling sea-level rise). Due to the un-structured nature of the job postings, it was difficult to categorize the project specific skills neededfor the postdoc positions without advanced subject domain knowledge. Therefore, we adopted adisciplinary approach to classifying the technical skills through identifying the subject domains.We developed a domain related dictionary by using the Classification of Instructional

A tolerance bypercentage or a numeric range could be added to the correct answers to handle computationaldiscrepancies. These are all the desired features of a multi-part problem with randomizedparameters.

Adoption of cloud computing technologies is a clear trend in online learning.1,2 Someeducators have used cloud technologies for years. Others are still exploring ways of incorporatingcloud computing in teaching and learning. There are many different approaches of implementingcloud computing.2,3 For educators with little experience in cloud computing deployment, selectinga suitable cloud platform to use can
