Designing Publishable Research Projects for Undergraduates
Spring 2019
More Details
The Tennessee STEM Education Center (TSEC) provides faculty support for education research and improvement of instruction inside and outside the classroom. Undergraduate research is a high impact practice and a niche area at MTSU that can benefit both students and faculty. Participants in this workshop will learn how to design undergraduate research projects for individuals and teams with publication as an end product. The workshop is for faculty interested in increasing productivity when working with undergraduate students. Presenters will share their strategies and outcomes through examples of successful projects, including those supported through URECA (teams and individuals), NSF-FirstSTEP (teams), and collaborations.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
