Research Students are very interested in research - gives them a better idea of what is expected in grad school - students can discover what area of research most interests them
15
Research Still difficult for students to find research – URAP & UROP are not up-to-date – there are not many options available for EECS students – Skill requirements are unclear – Students feel intimidated to approach professors

Research Undergraduate research groups, like Gamesman, are popular and are a good way to introduce students to research – boosts confidence in finding research later on
17
Research Suggestions – encourage more professors to lead research groups for undergraduates – professors can post a list of required background knowledge so that students are better prepared to approach professors about research – point out interesting research problems in class to excite students into doing research – update web pages to reflect current research opportunities
