awareness. “I didn’t really know what I was getting into!” Jore says. “I think the biggest challenge was that we were learning a lot of different techniques in class while we were working with Heritage, so we had a lot of new things to learn at the same time we were doing the project.” The project required Dixon and Jore to use a wide variety of research and analysis methods taught in the MSMA program. The students were prepared, and their individual strengths proved to be an ideal match for their

-solving in class.  As each student cohort progresses from the preparatory chemistry course on to general chemistry, we are accumulating data to determine the effectiveness of the course in supporting students’ future success in general chemistry and beyond. Through this project, RISE researchers will develop skills in basic statistical analysis as well as best practices for teaching in undergraduate classes. Faculty mentors:  Drs.

parameters for high resolution printing at any length scale. The tasks of someone involved in this project would involve resin formulation, polymerization kinetic analysis, use of a laser scanning confocal microscope, 3D printing experiments, and scripting in Python. I think it would be a great experience and let students see a little bit of what life is like at a government lab. It will also result in one or more publications for any grad school/job applications in the future. Caleb Chandler is also
