Welcome

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.

Objectives

The Undergraduate Research Program for Honor Students (URP-HS) seeks to

• Contribute to the development of an undergraduate research culture at PUPR
• Provide a community for those sharing an interest in undergraduate research
• Foster collaboration among interested parties

Regarding the participating students, the program has the following objectives: 

• Provide training on the different aspects required to develop a successful research project
• Expose students to a yearlong undergraduate research experience
• Produce formal research outcomes through written reports, oral presentations and posters
• Stimulate participation in technical meetings, conferences and seminars
• Contribute to students professional development and preparation for graduate school
• Develop inquiry and analysis, and other essential skills

Among the specific benefits/skills that students can obtain from participating in the URP-HS are:

• Experience in the research process in all its stages (proposal preparation, research implementation, findings documentation and poster creation)
• Presentation skills in a professional context
• Exposure to an expert audience
• Technical writing
• Problem solving
• Time management and project management
• Self-learning and self-management
• Enhancement of resume, bio and interview skills
• Access and preparation for other enriched experiences, such as Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), COOP, and internships
• Preparation for Graduate School
