INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS:

Student RESEARCH Opportunities

Various opportunities to complete a research project are available to SPC students. Additionally, student researchers are invited to present their research projects at SPC’s Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium each fall semester.

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.
