SRTP adopts the project operation mode, and determines and gives project financial support by setting up innovation funds and self-declaration by undergraduates, so as to encourage students to independently complete project research under the guidance of tutors. The core of SRTP is to support undergraduates to carry out scientific research training, and the process of students participating in SRTP is essentially a research-based learning process.
SRTP provides opportunities for spare college students to directly participate in scientific research, and guides students to enter the forefront of science and understand the social development trend. Students actively explore new knowledge fields through the process of discovering problems, stimulating innovative thinking and completing projects independently, thus experiencing a brand-new fun of research-based learning.
Requirements for expanding the scientific research and training plan for information undergraduates;
1, with sufficient funds.
Every year, more than 7,400 undergraduates in Washington University participate in scientific research and training, and a considerable part of these projects are funded by social donations, such as Mary? Gates Foundation, Washington Research Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and so on.
2. Undergraduate research platform
It mainly includes: specialized laboratory or activity room, which provides comfortable and safe study and research space for students and facilitates communication with tutors and peers; Experimental equipment to meet the basic needs of scientific research, as well as large-scale instruments and equipment that can be used to pay inside and outside the school; Library resources and high-speed computing network; Supervision institutions such as the Ethics Review Committee; Administrative and logistics personnel providing support services, etc.
3. Teacher guidance
The scientific research and training of undergraduates can not be separated from the guidance of teachers. Strengthening training is of great significance to improve the guidance level of tutors and the quality of undergraduate scientific research training. In order to ensure that teachers can improve the academic level of teaching, including guiding undergraduate research, relevant professional societies and universities in the United States provide regular teacher training for teachers with the help of academic networks.
