That group spans CU’s departments of Information Science and Computer Science. Technology, Arts and Media senior Teresa Lim (pictured) was part of the program this year under Assistant Professor Stephen Voida’s Too Much Information research group. Students worked on a variety of projects this year, including research on natural gas development, membrane science and self-assembling modular robots. What: Final presentations for Summer Program for Undergraduate Research program Half of the funding for the program comes from the Engineering Excellence Fund, and the other half comes from the participating faculty member who mentors the student. The summer program is finishing its fourth year and is open to students with a GPA of 2.7 or better. “Some students may not have the greatest academic credentials, but once they are working in a lab, it can motivate them to work harder in the classroom since they begin to understand why they need to master those concepts.” They get to apply the concepts they’ve been learning in the classroom into a real-life experience,” she said. “Working in a lab can be life-altering for some students. This allows students who also want to take a class or two over the summer the opportunity to do so. Sharon Anderson, the director of active learning at the college, said the program allows students to work up to 30 hours per week in a research lab for 10 weeks over the summer with pay.
Students will present findings from the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research on Thursday and Friday in the Gallogly DLC Collaboratory. These final presentations sum up the students’ work over the summer in various labs and provide a valuable chance to speak about their research to faculty, staff and other students.
