Can you get a position that will provide research experience?
Independent study projects provide research experience and academic credit for laboratory, field work, or theoretical research.
Plus, we have expanded our outreach to the many communities Hopkins touches, such as our programs to provide research experience for science teachers in middle and high schools and our new support of international experiences for our students.
This REU program provides research experiences across four CEINT partner institutions: Duke, Virginia Tech and Carnegie Mellon Universities as well as the European Center for Research and Education in Geosciences and the Environment (CEREGE) in Aix-en-Provence, France.
The REBMI project provides research experiences and courses to students in a way that is meant to enrich, not replace, their chosen course of major study.
The importance of providing research experiences for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics undergraduates is well documented (see references cited in the Introduction).
As a result, some are providing research experiences for their students, and many are thinking of ways to incorporate research experiences into the traditional laboratory setting (Cejda and Hensel, 2009).
On the basis of the results of our survey, we propose several ways in which to address the challenge of the Vision and Change report to provide research experiences in biology for all students.
Analyses of the reported faculty incentives for sustaining a CURE (Table 5 and Figure 6) indicate strong personal commitment on the part of the faculty to providing research experiences for students, grounded in faculty observations that this approach enhances student learning.
We also hope that this report successfully highlights the enormous potential of CUREs, not only to support students in becoming scientists, but also to provide research experiences to increasing numbers of students who will enter the workforce as teachers, employers, entrepreneurs, and young professionals.
At a cost of less than $200 per college student (this includes all wet-bench work, all technical support, infrastructure maintenance/development, and travel and expenses for new faculty/TA training and continuing GEP faculty workshops), this project has developed a cost-effective strategy for providing research experiences for more college students.
