The Undergraduate Research Program for Honor Students (URP-HS) was created to respond to the objectives of the HSI-STEM Grant P031C160141 (SAFRA II), Strategy 3 (Increase Retention, Success and Degree Completion) of the College of Engineering and Geomatic Sciences. Its purpose is to provide an enriched undergraduate academic experience to high-achieving students preparing them as Career Leaders in their area of expertise.
Each cycle of the program lasts for one academic year (3 trimesters): FALL, WINTER and SPRING.
In the first quarter (FALL), students receive a series of compulsory research methodology and related workshops coordinated by the URP-HS Committee, define their research problem, write the first draft of their proposal, and are assigned their research mentors. Compulsory status presentations are scheduled.
During the second (WINTER) and third (SPRING) trimesters students enroll with their mentor in an Undergraduate Research course and implement their research. In addition, students receive one or two additional workshops per term coordinated by the URP-HS Committee, and provide status presentations to the URP-HS community as the project progresses.
At the end of the year there is an exhibition of research posters and a final presentation, in addition to the delivery of the final research report.
For more information, contact the Undergraduate Research Program for Honor Students (URP-HS/PUPR): URP-SAFRA2@pupr.edu.
