Undergraduate research can be a great opportunity to experience what the next academic level holds. It is a chance to be on the cutting edge of computer science, and some undergraduate researchers have even worked on published papers and made research posters for the Poster Contest at our annual banquet. If a student is interested in a graduate degree, doing research as an undergraduate can prepare them by having them work with real researchers solving modern problems in computer science. Working with faculty and graduate students gives the student a view of what a graduate program demands, and can make becoming a graduate student much easier. If you are interested in undergraduate research, the best way to get started would be to find an area of computer science you are interested in and find a faculty member related to that field. Below are two different opportunities to do research at the undergraduate level, pick one out to learn about the different faculty members and research you can get involved in!
