This semester, 31 undergraduate students are taking part in 27 RaMP projects. Cullen said students typically spend eight to 12 hours a week in their labs. While they do not receive pay or academic credit, it does count as an honors experience — one of five required for graduation. Students also gain experience in a research environment. Last year, 40% of RaMP participants went on to other research experiences, Cullen said. One of the cornerstones of the University Honors Program includes interdisciplinary experience and reflection. “They are in a structured environment that fosters both personal and technical skill development,” said Cullen.
