Sure, I wrote long papers for my masters', but those papers were to scholarship what engineering math is to actual mathematics - just get through it to do your job. Working with you in NITARP, I saw scholarship as a living community. [..] this experience encouraged me to write for the journal of my profession, but even moreso taught me to reach out to others[..]
The experience has and will continue to help me develop more effective uses of NASA/JPL resources for me and to promote professional development.
...students, given an interesting task, could stay on task for hours at a time.
