Undergraduate Research
|
The focus of the IMMERSE program is on teaching undergraduate students how to conduct and publish significant research. Faculty mentors help participating students
to write and publish technical papers summarizing their research projects and results. The "Undergraduate Research Model" of the IMMERSE/MME programs
has been successful in helping participating students to publish their work in technical, peer-reviewd journals and articles.
Every Student Can Publish
- Program operates with the goal that every student author or co-author a technical journal or conference paper
- Faculty conceive of research projects and then assign to students. Projects always have end goal of publication in mind.
Undergraduate Research Model
Builds on the success of the Microfabrication Mentoring Environment (MME) Program begun in 2003 by Professors Aaron Hawkins and Stephen Schultz of BYU's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
