This approach hasproven less than desirable for students as well as employers – taking extra time and money awayfrom production, and, many times learning tools out of the useful integration of knowledgecontext 10.

Over the last two decades, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has beenone of the biggest proponents of undergraduate research and currently supports hundreds of REU(Research Experiences for Undergraduates) programs totaling over $300 million. In particular,REU program funds two types of grants related to undergraduate research: REU sites consistingof six or more undergraduate researchers typically participating at an eight to ten week summerexperience, and individual supplements for a principal investigator to involve an undergraduatein ongoing work for a NSF-sponsored grant.
