Using regional conferences to mentor student development: a case study

摘要

The reasons for introducing students in computer science programs to the practice of research should be apparent to readers of SIGPLAN Notices. Any graduate program that teaches the mastery of new ideas should obviously feature research work in its curriculum. The reasons for exposing undergraduates to research, although less obvious, are equally compelling. These reasons include helping undergraduates to make informed choices about graduate school, and helping students to appreciate how research influences the practice of computer science.
