One opportunity to broaden our students’ access to scholarly inquiry is to build authentic “research-like” experiences into our normal curricula. “Research-like classroom experiences” may include Project- and Problem-Based Learning (PBL), creative scholarship, service learning, international collaborations, research-based inquiry learning, and other student-centered inquiry experiences. In this workshop, we will discuss how hands-on experience, critical thinking skills, and professional mentorship can be scaffolded throughout undergraduate coursework. Faculty will reflect on their own courses and share ideas for incorporating real-world problems and faculty-led scholarship into a variety of classrooms.
Facilitators: Dr. Ed Brush (Chemical Sciences), Dr. Alyssa Deline (Chemical Sciences), Dr. Saritha Nellutla (Chemical Sciences), and Kacey O’Donnell (Undergraduate Research)
