If the student does not have a topic in mind, thenthe undergraduate can use their university experience to suggest a topic. For example,one nuclear engineering undergraduate was able to obtain a Geiger counter from theuniversity. He used this to perform experiments where the student measured the radiationin various locations in and around the school. The Geiger counter experiment wasparticularly meaningful to one young lady who had just recently lost her mother tocancer.
