Undergraduate Research: Resources at Kettering

Advancing Undergraduate Research is designed to share successful models and strategies for promoting and funding undergraduate research programs.

Engaging undergraduate students in research, scholarship, and creative activity is a proven and powerful practice for enhancing educational outcomes and expanding frontiers of knowledge. This book is a rich collection featuring institutions that are maximizing the impact of this practice.

This book is based on the collective experience, over many years, of CUR members who have engaged undergraduate students in research, developed undergraduate research programs, mentored new faculty to include undergraduate research in their teaching repertoire, and coached universities in the development of undergraduate research programs.

The volume focuses on three broad areas: curricular elements and teaching and learning strategies that develop critical research skills, curricular infrastructure that enhances a research-supportive curriculum, and administrative contributions that initiate and sustain a research-supportive curriculum.

The authors discuss many aspects of providing support for faculty who involve undergraduates in research. Hopefully this book will provide inspiration and encouragement to administrators and faculty to design solutions to these challenges that can be integrated into campus practices and cultures.

This manual is a much needed guide for the institutions that wish to begin or expand an undergraduate research program, while at the same time it offers fresh ideas and evaluation tools for more experienced institutions.

How to Start an Undergraduate Research Journal provides justifications and strategies for beginning and/or sustaining undergraduate research journals—whether institutionally, nationally, or internationally.

This volume addresses the special rewards and challenges in connecting undergraduate students with change oriented community-based projects and provides a roadmap for implementing CBR with undergraduates.

Science in Solution shifts the science education focus from alarms about the shortage of STEM workers to the professional and personal benefits of undergraduates engaging in research.
