Abstract:Undergraduate research
transforms student’s conceptions
of themselves as scientists and encourages participation and retention
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Many barriers exist to carrying out scientifically impactful undergraduate
research in nanomaterials at primarily undergraduate institutions
(PUIs). Here, we share several practices and design principles that
demonstrate pathways to overcome these barriers. Design of modular
research projects with low entry barriers is… Show more
