| The current emphasis on undergraduate research by students in chemistry and chemistry-related programs is exciting. Through undergraduate research, students have unique opportunities to learn discipline-specific information, contribute to the advancement of their field, share technical information with peers and professionals in their field, take ownership of their truly original work, and have fun working on projects that are often logistically prohibitive in the traditional classroom setting. These student-centered efforts to conduct original investigations that help to promote student learning while contributing to the scholarship of the discipline are often scarce for students in community colleges or at the Associate Degree level. Students enrolled in these programs can find success with undergraduate research, and faculty can find ways to provide these valuable experiences. This paper aims to share examples and advice for implementing undergraduate research activities in programs predominantly at the Associate degree level. |
