CCSC-E @ Frostburg State - DEADLINE EXTENSION!!

Hello everyone,

With the impending end of the semester for many, we have had many requests to extend the due date for CCSC-E conference participation. As we are all dealing with the end of the semester, so we certainly understand!! We hope that another two weeks will help you put the finishing touches on those papers, workshops, tutorials, etc. The new deadline for participation is May 15, 2016. (If only it were this easy to extend the deadline for reporting grades!)

But Mike, I don’t have time for a paper!! No problem! Consider writing up a workshop, tutorial, or creating a panel. In addition, lightening talks and poster presentations offer a great way to “bounce” ideas off others and obtain valuable feedback from others in the field. Here is a short description of some of the ways you can participate without writing a paper:

Workshop Session:
Workshops are intended to provide an in-depth review of a topic of interest, designed to be immediately useful in the classroom. To this end, workshop presenters should plan to provide participants with a set of handouts outlining the material covered in the workshop. We plan to offer a limited number of workshops involving hands-on computer use by participants. All CCSCE workshops will be either 2 or 3 hours.

Tutorial Sessions:
Tutorials are conference sessions, 75 minutes in length, in which instruction takes place. The presenter is typically an expert on the topic being presented, and attendees are usually novices. The session may consist of lecture-style instruction, or may involve active learning techniques such as pen and paper exercises or computer use.

Panel Sessions:
Panel sessions provide an opportunity for expert panel members to present their views on a specific topic and then to discuss these views among themselves and with the audience. Panel sessions run for 75 minutes. Usually a panel session starts with a brief introduction of the panel topic and the participants, followed by short presentations by the panelists giving their views. The session must allow sufficient opportunity (about 30 minutes) for an interactive question and answer period involving both the panelists and the audience.

More details, and other ways to participate, can be found here: http://www.ccsc-eastern.org/participation

So, now that you have read all of this you STILL don’t feel you have the time to participate as a presenter, we hope you will still consider attending. It is a great way to connect with others interested in teaching computing!

Still have questions? Let us know!

NSF REU Student Summer Research Opportunity at Purdue Calumet (Chicago Suburban)

*****************************************************************************
Purdue University Calumet once again offers a REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) Site interdisciplinary summer research program in 2016. The entire faculty welcomes all interest in its research programs in sustainable wireless computing. The REU site provides an intensive nine-week program in summer 2016 for undergrads from across the country. A faculty team at the site works with the participants on research projects designed for the research of sustainable wireless communication, including wireless computing, networking, security, as well as its social, economic, and environment impacts on the human society. We expect that undergrads with different backgrounds will benefit significantly from the educational experience through the participation in research on advanced topics.

All REU Fellowships include: $4500 stipend, housing, food, and travel.

For application, please spend some time to acquaint yourself with the research interests of the faculty by reading the descriptions at our REU web site., http://cs.purduecal.edu/reu/
