11)Participating Institutions -- Universities providing students, teachers, resources, mentors -- Research organizations like NPAC or NCSA/CRPC -- Industry supplying employees as Students -- sponsoring Industry for resources (equipment and funds) -- Government Agencies
12)All students must be assigned to a "participating Institution" which may be remote from student. The assigned institution is responsible for grading and mentoring.
