Faculty collaborate, design, implement and assess CUREs for specific courses. It’s a multi-faceted approach that both increases student engagement in the course and prepares students to undertake faculty-mentored individual research through STEC-2500 and STEC-4500 courses. Students benefit from talented faculty who are the heart of innovative CUREs, and SST’s competitive mini-grant program assists with funding these innovative efforts.
