Program Overview:
UTSLR aims to encourage interest in conducting engineering research among its participants, improve participant confidence in their ability to
perform research, and inspire a greater commitment to engineering. Just as undergraduates who conduct research in a supportive
environment are better able to evaluate their inclination for graduate study, this experience
will show
TNCC students
the types of contributions they could make.
Additionally, collaboration with and mentoring by
graduate students and post-doctoral researchers in
the labs will help participants learn what graduate
and post-graduate work entails from a variety of
viewpoints.
USTLR is formulated with the idea of interesting
students in continuing their studies at the
graduate level in mind. Working in labs
introduces students to concrete applications of
theoretical, classroom concepts, and research has
show that this exposure helps to retain students in
engineering programs and recruit them for
graduate school.
