and Disadvantages The advantages and disadvantages of carrying out the undergraduate researchshould be weighed carefully. The mutual observations among students and the mentor isthat this type of research prepares students for graduate study. The students have learnedand are continually learning what it takes to conduct valuable research: learning newmaterial on their own, gaining skills involved in designing and building a complexsystem, implementing controllers, and debugging problems. One student notes that evenif the end project may not be as successful as desired, the overall learning that takes placeduring the process is well worth the effort
