The idea ofintroducing research into the curriculum is not new, it is a national trend, and NSF has embracedthis idea by supporting initiatives that foster this approach, such as the REU (ResearchExperiences for Undergraduates), CRCD (Combined Research and Curriculum Development),etc. As it was emphasized in Project Kaleidoscope (1999), which was funded by NSF, “theundergraduate years are the last opportunity for academic study of STEM (science, technology,engineering and math) subjects by many of the future leaders of our society—the executives
