Students may have an opportunity to conduct faculty-led research in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Conducting research and performing data analysis enhances the development of students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. During these practical experiences, faculty members extend learning from the classroom to the real world through thoughtfully selected research questions. Students will be guided through the research process and will apply their knowledge in the mathematical sciences to make an impactful, intellectual contribution to the discipline.
Faculty-led research experiences are suitable for students who have interests in the mathematical sciences, willing to learn something new and motivated to continue working through the unfamiliar. Time management, accountability, and a little creativity are also necessary for project completion. Such research experiences are a great way to display student leadership skills.
