This course is designed to provide students with undergraduate research experience. Honors students will independently pursue research topics of their choosing under the guidance and with the support of an interdisciplinary team of 2-3 faculty members. Students will actively participate in a research experience that involves performing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, interacting with other students and professors in their research, reading and critiquing research articles in the same area that they are performing research, and presenting their results at the end of the semester. This course is designed to position a student to be prepared to take on research internships and be competitive in their application to graduate programs and other future research opportunities.
