  11. Undergraduate Research Experiences for STEM Students: Successes

    Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) are a meaningful opportunity for undergraduates to learn about the work and perspectives of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) researchers. Many faculty members and other scientists recall that their own research experiences as an undergraduate were pivotal to their career success.

  12. Undergraduate research experiences: Impacts and opportunities

  15. Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences Can Make Scientific

    Abstract Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) may be a more inclusive entry point to scientific research than independent research experiences, and the implementation of CUREs at the introductory level may therefore be a way to improve the diversity of the scientific community.

  16. Undergraduate research experiences: mentoring, awareness, and

    Background Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have been proposed as means to increase the retention and engagement of minority—and more specifically Hispanic—college students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. This study explores the impact of student characteristics such as gender, classification, ethnicity, and first-generation status on UREs of ...
