The University of Texas at San Antonio recently held its largest show-and-tell event of the year. Organized by the Office of Undergraduate Research, the UTSA Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry Showcase highlights undergraduate student research and creative endeavors from all disciplines.
“The undergraduate research award winners exemplify the best in experiential learning, with guidance from their faculty mentors,” said Thomas Coyle, director of the UTSA Office of Undergraduate Research.
“We applaud the commitment and persistence of students and their mentors in creating new knowledge, advancing the UTSA research enterprise and pursuing excellence in undergraduate scholarly achievement,” Coyle said.
Mentorship is a key element in developing a research mindset and ensuring student success.
This year, Mark T. Leung from the College of Business and Pranav A. Bhounsule of the College of Engineering were honored for the Faculty Mentor Award for Undergraduate Research.
The Showcase gives many undergraduate students their first opportunity to share research in an academic setting and explain their methodology and findings to peers and faculty.
Students have the opportunity to jump-start their academic curriculum vitae (CV), and network and learn from one another.
Award winners were recognized at the Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry Showcase Best-in-Show Awards ceremony on Friday, May 4.
STEM-focused participants are also encouraged to submit their research posters to the SACNAS conference taking place in San Antonio October 11-13, 2018. All participating students are asked to consider submitting their research as a journal article to UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Works.
