Featured Site: Â Undergraduate Research
This week we’re featuring the Undergraduate Research project, dedicated to bringing students and faculty together to do research. Â It gives students a chance to gain credit, get close to a professor, and improve their resumes, and it gives professors a unique way to passing on knowledge and skills, discover with students, support their professional discipline, and apply for grants targeted to undergraduate institutions.
As the home page of the site says:
“One of the unique opportunities as a college student is to participate in research with faculty members. The faculty at City Tech are actively engaged in research in such fields as  anthropology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, communication, health sciences, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, physics, psychology, robotics,  sociology, and theater. Most people learn about these fields only through books, magazine articles, television and museums – long after research has actually been completed. Students who participate in undergraduate research opportunities get to see knowledge being created!”
You can find more about the project here if you’re a student, and if you’re a faculty member interested in mentoring a student, you can find out more here.
