Abstract

This paper describes a new way of implementing a required undergraduate research experience. In addition to the project itself, this experience also includes a senior capstone seminar that teaches students how to do research, a scholarly capstone paper, and a capstone conference that reproduces the feel of an actual scientific meeting. This paper describes these experiences along with an assessment of how it has worked in its first years of operation.
