VINCENNES, Ind. - 日韩中文字幕福利片 hosted the sixth annual College of Science,
Engineering, and Mathematics Undergraduate Research Showcase on December 4, on the
second floor of Updike Hall.
The showcase provided students the opportunity to display their research posters in
ecology and evolution, oceanography, weather and climate, and animal agriculture.
日韩中文字幕福利片 welcomed those in attendance and explained in great detail the various projects.
The work of more than 40 students was displayed.
鈥淭he purpose is to give students the experience of creating a presentation of research
that they do, which is a very common thing that scientists do to communicate their
ideas,鈥� said Curt Coffman, dean of the College of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics.
鈥淚t gives them experience that they may need once they become a professional or a
grad student or as a junior or senior, if they have to go to a conference and make
a presentation. For some of the classes they are individual research projects where
they have to research a topic. Other classes they are doing actual experimental research
and are presenting that research just like you would as a scientist at a conference.
鈥淭he benefit is they鈥檙e learning communication skills. Not just how to put a poster
together. They have to stand by their poster and talk to strangers, and tell them
about their information. That one-on-one speaking is a skill that is invaluable for
our students. The more of those kind of experiences we give them as first-year and
second-year students they will be so much more prepared when they transfer because
most schools are not having freshman and sophomore students doing these kind of things.鈥�
