The SPLICE team designed a one-day workshop with presentations from research professors, hands-on cybersecurity demos, a panel discussion with current and recent graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E), and a participation survey. The goal of the workshop was for students to: understand what graduate school in CS&E entails, familiarize themselves with the graduate application process, learn different ways graduate school can be funded, discover possible career paths post-graduate school, and be more confident that graduate school is an option for them.
