Students benefit tremendously by applying what they learned in the\u00a0classroom\u00a0to actual\u00a0problems. By actively participating in research, students gain\u00a0valuable\u00a0experience to help them prepare for graduate or professional school as well as to\u00a0enhance their\u00a0qualifications and build their resumes. \u00a0Last year students worked alongside faculty in areas such as:<\/p>\n
