Undergraduate Research: Resources at UM Flint

Our mission is to build connections between undergraduate, graduate students, and the public, as well as among the different academic disciplines, through the publication of non-technical articles in all fields of research. Our goal is to tap student creativity and effort in all academic disciplines through a peer-edited, faculty-reviewed electronic and print publication

Since 1993, the annual Meeting of Minds Undergraduate Conference (MOM) has provided a forum for the presentation and publication of undergraduate research and creative activities.

MIT Stata Center, Cambridge, MA, November 3-5, 2017.
The IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference (URTC) brings together undergraduates around the world to present, discuss, and develop solutions to advance technology for humanity.

This volume provides a blueprint for bringing undergraduate biology education up to the speed of today's research fast track.

This is the first comprehensive, data-based study of the benefits to students who actively participate in authentic science research programs.

This report of the Panel on Undergraduate Engineering Education is one in a set of companion reports that formed the basis of the overall study by the Committee on the Education and Utilization of the Engineer, performed under the auspices of the National Research Council.

This volume illustrates many of the successes that entire systems/consortia and their campuses have achieved, such as: connecting undergraduate research to the curriculum, student success and completion, especially for underrepresented students creating cross-campus discussions on curricula and pedagogy, research collaborations among departments and campuses, and enhanced interdisciplinary activities addressing the challenges of workforce development and faculty issues--especially workload and tenure/promotion.

Excursions in Classical Analysis introduces undergraduate students to advanced problem solving. This book will serve as excellent preparation for participation in mathematics competitions, as a valuable resource for undergraduate mathematics reading courses and seminars and as a supplement text in a course on analysis.

While there seems to be no easy way of turning undergraduates into research mathematicians, some schools have run successful programmes which increased the research participation of their students. Many such model programmes are presented in this book.

Fully updated and revised, this fifth edition shows undergraduates how to use their research time efficiently and advises them on how to locate and evaluate material from electronic resources - including those available through the Internet.

This book will show you how to develop successful strategies for teaching undergraduates how to conduct basic research and write papers.

A summary of a workshop convened in May 2013 by the Chemical Science Roundtable of the National Research Council to explore the current state of undergraduate chemistry education.

Performance data revealed that URE participants made significant improvements in experimental problem solving and data analysis skills during their research program.

This study clarifies how faculty/student interaction within the context of an undergraduate research program (task-based interaction) leads to student intellectual gains, academic skill development, increases in educational aspirations and enhanced career motivation.

Questions involving faculty involvement in undergraduate research were addressed through an exploratory qualitative study with a sample of thirty faculty members at one Midwestern research university, who were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol.

The research studies reported in this dissertation investigate the instructional role that archivists play in the emerging undergraduate research movement by surveying instructional practices, interviewing teaching archivists, and developing a rubric for assessing archival instruction.

This dissertation focuses on the ways that performing research influences student engagement on campus.

This study used qualitative methods to discover and describe the expectations, outcomes, experiences, and epistemological gains of 40 undergraduate research participants from multiple major fields.

This was an exploratory interview study for which the Payton Scholars Program, an undergraduate research program at a Midwestern, religiously affiliated university, served as the site.
