Abstract for the conference program
We are developing Signature Research Experiences at Georgia State University to help students establish critical thinking and technical skills. Fewer than 9% of STEM majors at Georgia Southern University engage in research each year. We seek to broaden exposure via cooperative, team-based projects. Our model for scaling up research experiences to our large student body taps leadership by all the faculty, but particularly non-tenure track faculty. Examples of specific projects and an analysis of student perceptions will be presented.
