For students, the benefitsinclude improved academic persistence and increased interest in pursuit of graduate education.These activities also foster broad development in areas that include communications and technicalskills, understanding the research process, ability and confidence to conduct research, motivationto learn, and ability to work in teams as well as independently. These effects are also seen asstrong motivating elements for underrepresented minority student populations that areexperiencing greater gains than others participating in undergraduate research [7] – [10].MESA Center
