“…STUDENT IN APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS About 7 years ago we started parallel programming and automatic code generation as small applied research projects within our capstone framework at the Computer Science Department of Okanagan College, and also at the UBC Okanagan Campus , [17][18], [19], [20]. Students enjoyed projects within capstone project-courses [17], [21], [22], [23] and several projects resulted in student research papers [24], [25], [26], [27]. Starting from 2016 we also accepted freshmen students to the parallel programming and automatic code generation small applied research projects [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33].…”
