As told to me by my current undergraduate researchers, Rensselaer
undergraduates are hungry for research projects. A junior
colleague recently sent out an e-mail requesting undergraduate
researchers. Within 15 minutes, he had over 20 responses. To meet this
demand, I plan to expand my use of undergraduates in my research
programs wherever possible. In particular, I plan to use four top
undergraduates from my Computer Organization course for the research
project proposed here. The purpose of these projects is to provide
undergraduate students with the exciting and rewarding experience of
working on an innovative research project. My graduate students will
also gain invaluable management experience in overseeing these
undergraduates.
