Emphasis
is
placed on providing an experience that will be meaningful to undergraduate
students and will promote reasoning and critical-thinking skills, ethical
judgment and communication skills, and a deep understanding of the methods of
scientific and/or humanities research.
Projects should be developed
with the goal of developing students' capacities to find, analyze and evaluate
information.
Design projects, applied research, service-learning activities, and visual and performing arts projects are considered part of this effort, as well as basic research.
