Furthermore, CCIS actively engages in training and mentoring of student researchers at all levels and in curriculum development to provide the necessary skills for our students to become successful scientists and engineers in the computational information age.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243;
