Undergraduate Research

First, take the initiative to introduce yourself to a professor and express an interest in research. Bring along a 1-page resume and an unofficial transcript.
If the professor agrees, register for ChE 1097 or PetE 1097. You can register for 1-12 credits. Each credit requires 3 hours of time each week for 14 weeks.
You MUST inform the Undergraduate Secretary of this decision, otherwise you will not be able to receive a grade.
Every 3 credits of ChE 1097 can be counted as a Technical, Professional or ChE Elective
This is a letter-grade course, and the professor has the ability to assign the appropriate grade (A - F) for your work.
Your advisor MUST have periodic meetings with you during the term AND your advisor must provide a project that has substantial intellectual content (you CANNOT be assigned to routine lab maintenance).
You MUST provide the Undergraduate Secretary a copy of either a report on your topic OR a technical paper or draft of a paper in which you are listed as a co-author. You CANNOT receive a grade for your work - even with your advisor's approval - without handing in this document

First, take the initiative to introduce yourself to a professor and express an interest in research. Bring along a 1-page resume and an unofficial transcript.
If the professor agrees, ask the professor how much you will be paid and how many hours per week you expect to work.
You MUST inform the Administrative Secretary of this decision and fill out the proper papers, otherwise you will not be able to receive a paycheck.
Your advisor MUST have periodic meetings with you during the term, or assign a graduate student or post-doc to supervise you.

No double-dipping!

You CANNOT receive pay AND credit for the same time spent on a project. It is one or the other.
