There are many forms of undergraduate research experiences, but a common method is for astudent to work closely with a teacher in research. Students often find these hands-on experiences veryuseful and learn to work in teams, manage projects, and communication skills. In the scope of thiswork-in-progress study, our program, originally rooted in engineering, now draws one-quarter of itsstudents from departments outside the College of Engineering.
