A Call to Develop Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) for Nonmajors Courses

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) for non-science majors (nonmajors) are potentially distinct from CUREs for developing scientists in their goals, learning objectives, and assessment strategies. While national calls to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education have led to an increase in research revealing the positive effects of CUREs for science ...

Increasing Research Productivity in Undergraduate Research Experiences: Exploring Predictors of Collaborative Faculty–Student Publications

Little attention has been paid to understanding faculty-student productivity via undergraduate research from the faculty member's perspective. This study examines predictors of faculty-student publications resulting from mentored undergraduate research, including measures of faculty-student collaboration, faculty commitment to undergraduate students, and faculty characteristics. Generalized est...

The Undergraduate–Postgraduate–Faculty Triad: Unique Functions and Tensions Associated with Undergraduate Research Experiences at Research Universities

We present an exploratory study of how undergraduates' involvement in research influences postgraduates (i.e., graduate and postdoctoral researchers) and faculty. We used a qualitative approach to examine the relationships among undergraduates, postgraduates, and the faculty head in a research group. In this group, undergraduates viewed postgraduates as more approachable than the faculty head b...

1. Student: Joyce Biaco Major: Chemistry Mentor: Timothy Barker Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Minisci Reactions Many pharmaceutical drugs contain at least one nitrogen atom. If that nitrogen atom is part of a ring with carbon atoms it is called a heterocycle. The ability to easily modify a heterocycle is useful to medicinal chemists because they are then abl...
