The Rose-Hulman Approach to Undergraduate Research - What Works for Us
AMS-MAA Joint Meeting - Baltimore
(1998)
Abstract
The Rose-Hulman approach to undergraduate research, as practiced in its summer REU program, stresses:
- "doable", interesting problems
- student - student & student -faculty collaboration
- computer experimentation (Magma, Maple)
- student presentations and writing
- consistent, though loose focus
and is supported by the RHIT programs:
- Undergraduate Math Conference
- Technical Report Series
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Undergraduate Mathematics Journal (started March 2000)
The talk gives some background on Rose-Hulman, some examples of "doable" problems, and some thoughts on building the summer program philosophy into the regular program.
