Developing cross disciplinary skills through an undergraduate research project

Undergraduate students can benefit from a research experience with a faculty mentor. Students perceived the research project and faculty mentorship as more beneficial than directed coursework. Mentoring is key to enhancing undergraduate research experiences, but the impact on time should be considered. Linkages between coursework and application should also be considered.student mentor, undergraduate research, Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession, Q1,

Undergraduate Research Project: Step-by-Step

This book is in a workbook format, intended to complement any individual or group of undergraduate researchers in their social science investigations. The step-by-step approach provides understanding and experience with scholarly inquiry. Students discover content and practice skills related to scholarly inquiry and their academic subjects.https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/books-sandell-undergraduate-research/1000/thumbnail.jp

Librarian Mentoring of an Undergraduate Research Project

Bridgewater State University has a dynamic, highly visible, and increasingly successful Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) that supports students and their faculty mentors with developing research opportunities. Students working on undergraduate research projects have sought the help of librarians, but the librarians had never been directly involved as mentors. A librarian mentor and student library worker collaborated on a project to develop an online library guide, which is used by faculty and student researchers for discovering social justice resources, and found new paths to teaching and learning information literacy skills

GWU Undergraduate Research Project Earns Accolades and Opportunities for Music Student

As a rising junior, Christian Jessup ’17 took on the ambitious project of developing a completely original score for the 1977 blockbuster, Star Wars. His work was made possible by a grant from the GWU Undergraduate Research Scholars program. During the five-week research experience, students are mentored by a faculty member and receive on campus room and board as well as tuition remission, if applicable.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/1610/thumbnail.jp

The Grassmannian Sigma Model in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

Spin-charge separation in pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory was recently found to involve the dynamics of an O(3) non-linear sigma model and, seemingly, a Grassmannian non-linear sigma model. In this article we explicitly construct the Grassmannian sigma model of the form appearing in the the spin-charge separated SU(2) theory through a quaternionic decomposition of the manifold, thus verifying its relevance in this context. The coupling between this model and the O(3) non-linear sigma model is further commented upon.Comment: 11 pages, undergraduate research project; version published in J. Phys.
