Introduction to Research

0.5-6 units

Third- and fourth-year students register for this course to perform research on a selected topic in chemistry. A student planning to register with a Department of Chemistry research mentor MUST obtain approval from that faculty member before registering, but a formal proposal is not required. For research experiences with mentors outside of the chemistry department, the student must submit the Chem 4900 Project Proposal Form, which identifies the faculty mentor and includes a short description of the proposed chemical research. The Chem 4900 Project Proposal Form, which is available on the chemistry department website, should be submitted to the director of undergraduate studies in the chemistry department for approval. Pass/No Pass only.
