Abstract or Description

In this presentation, the researchers will describe the implementation of a new University Research Experience (URE) for undergraduate students in STEM fields. “Planned Progressive Pathways (P3): Incorporation of Freshmen in Research for Early Experience (IFREE)” is a program that will involve students in research beginning in their freshman year. Faculty members will measure students’ efficacy beliefs to examine if this has any influence on graduation rates. This project is a good fit for the SOTL as the researchers will describe student learning and developments as they gain experience as well as a deeper appreciation for STEM as a discipline.
