The level of abstraction, the standard of rigor, and the depth of theoretical treatment are necessary skills expected of a graduate engineering technician to be derived from mathematical knowledge.
We illustrate this in Table 1 by comparing CUREs with research internships, in which undergraduates work one-on-one with a mentor, either a graduate student, technician, postdoctoral researcher, or faculty member.
They were graduate students, managers, technicians and professionals, including a doctor, lawyer, psychologist and chief executive of a nonprofit group.
This includes PhD students, post-docs, researchers with insecure contracts and graduate or undergraduate technicians.
