INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS:
Student RESEARCH Opportunities
Institutional Effectiveness (IE) receives grant funding from the SPC Foundation to offer students Paid 8-week Undergraduate Research Experiences (UREs) facilitated by faculty mentors in the student’s STEM/non-STEM field of interest. The goal of a URE is to encourage students to learn about literature review, the scientific method, programming, technical report writing, data collection, results analyses, and developing conclusions, as well as acquiring hands-on skills in a science lab, and using advanced technologies.
