 \n\n---------------------\nToward a HPC Certification Program\n\nKunkel, H
 imstedt, Hübbe, Stüben, Schröder...\n\nThe HPC community has always consid
 ered the training of new and existing HPC practitioners to be of high impo
 rtance to its growth.  This diversification of HPC practitioners challenge
 s the traditional training approaches, which are not able to satisfy the s
 pecific needs of users, often coming from n...\n\n---------------------\nI
 ntroduction - Fifth SC Workshop on Best Practices for HPC Training and Edu
 cation\n\nSukhija, Lathrop, Alexandrov, Mullen\n\nHigh-Performance Computi
 ng (HPC) has become central for empowering progress in scientific, technic
 al, social, business and medical domains by facilitating the solution of l
 arge-scale complex scientific and big data applications in a range of dive
 rse fields.  However, the inherent wide distribution, ...\n\n-------------
 --------\nDeep Learning by Doing: Nvidia Deep Learning Institute\n\nChen, 
 Bungo, Gutmann\n\nOver the past two decades, High-Performance Computing (H
 PC) communities have developed many models for delivering education aiming
  to help students understand and harness the power of parallel and distrib
 uted computing. Most of these courses either lack hands-on experience or h
 eavily focus on theore...\n\n---------------------\nCiSE-ProS - Using Virt
 ual Reality to Enforce Principles of Physical Cybersecurity\n\nSeo, Bruner
 , Payne, Gober, McMullen...\n\nThe Cyberinfrastructure Security Education 
 for Professionals and Students (CiSE-ProS) virtual reality environment is 
 an exploratory project that uses evidence-generating approaches to evaluat
 e the impact of learning environments produced by augmented reality (AR) a
 nd virtual reality (VR) technologie...\n\n---------------------\nHPC Educa
 tion and Training: An Australian Perspective\n\nNunez, Cytowski\n\nThe Paw
 sey Supercomputing Centre has been running a variety of education, trainin
 g and outreach activities addressed to all Australian researchers for a nu
 mber of years. Based on experience and user feedback we have developed a m
 ix of on-site and on-line training, roadshows, user forums and hackatho...
 \n\n---------------------\nUsing CloudLab as a Scalable Platform for Teach
 ing Cluster Computing\n\nNgo, Denton\n\nA significant challenge in teachin
 g cluster computing, an advanced topic in the parallel and distributed com
 puting body of knowledge, is to provide students with an adequate environm
 ent where they can become familiar with real-world infrastructures that em
 body the conceptual principles taught in lec...\n\n---------------------\n
 Programmable Education Infrastructure: Cloud Resources as HPC Education En
 vironments\n\nCoulter, Knepper, Fischer\n\nCloud computing is a growing ar
 ea for educating students and performing meaningful scientific research. T
 he challenge for many educators and researchers is knowing how to use some
  of the unique aspects of computing in the cloud. One key feature is elast
 ic computing - resources on demand. The elastic...\n\n--------------------
 -\nBreakout Groups\n\n\n\n---------------------\nTrends in Demand, Growth,
  and Breadth in Scientific Computing Training Delivered by a High-Performa
 nce Computing Center\n\nvan Zon, Ponce, Spence, Gruner\n\nWe analyze the c
 hanges in the training and educational efforts of the SciNet HPC Consortiu
 m, a Canadian academic High Performance Computing Center, in the areas of 
 Scientific Computing and High-Performance Computing, over the last six yea
 rs.  Initially, SciNet offered isolated training events on how...\n\n-----
 ----------------\nWorkshop Morning Break\n\n\n\n---------------------\nPot
 ential Influence of Prior Experience in an Undergraduate-Graduate Level HP
 C Course\n\nFietkiewicz\n\nA course on High Performance Computing at Case 
 Western Reserve University included students with a range of technical and
  academic experience. We consider these experiential differences with rega
 rd to student performance and perceptions. The course relied heavily on C 
 programming and multithreading,...\n\n---------------------\nThe HPC Best 
 Practices Webinar Series\n\nMarques, Bernholdt, Raybourn, Barker, Hartman-
 Baker\n\nThe Best Practices for HPC Software Developers (HPC-BP) webinar s
 eries is a major component of the outreach efforts of the IDEAS (Interoper
 able Design of Extreme-scale Application Software) Productivity Project, f
 unded by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Exascale Computing Project (E
 CP). Since it...\n\n---------------------\nEvaluating Active Learning Appr
 oaches for Teaching Intermediate Programing at an Early Undergraduate Leve
 l\n\nChakravorty, McMullen, Liu, Ghaffari, Rodriguez...\n\nThere is a grow
 ing need to provide intermediate programing classes to STEM students early
  in their undergraduate careers. These efforts face significant challenges
  owing to the varied computing skill-sets of learners, requirements of deg
 ree programs and the absence of a common programing standard. I...\n\n----
 -----------------\nTraining Computational Scientists to Build and Package 
 Code\n\nBisbal\n\nHigh performance computing training and education typica
 lly emphasizes the first-principles of scientific programming, such as num
 erical algorithms and parallel programming techniques.  However, as applic
 ations and libraries proliferate on the Internet and mature, the need for 
 computational scientis...\n\n---------------------\nThe Impact of MOOC Met
 hodology on the Scalability, Accessibility and Development of HPC Educatio
 n and Training\n\nMullen, Filinger, Milechin, Henty\n\nThis work explores 
 the applicability of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for scaling Hig
 h Performance Computing (HPC) training and education.  Most HPC centers re
 cognize the need to provide their users with HPC training; however, the cu
 rrent educational structure and accessibility prevents many...\n
