The University of
Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) recently hosted 15 undergraduate science and
engineering students from Mexico for its UT Dallas-Mexico Summer Research
Program.
“Participants were
engaged in hands-on, STEM-related learning experiences that inspire
curiosity and help connect students to the real-world experiences of
STEM professionals,” Associate Provost Dr. Austin Cunningham said. “The
objective was to give students project-based learning experiences as a
contributing member of an active research group.”
Now in its 12th year,
the program has hosted 124 undergraduate students who are matched with UT
Dallas researchers. This year’s participants were able to work with UT Dallas
professors on projects ranging from generating mechanical biofeedback from
prostheses for amputees to conceptualizing automated theorem proving,
computation logic and using it to develop an application.
The highly
selective program picked the 15 participants for this summer from a pool of 380
applicants.
“The most important
knowledge I learned was that I can communicate in a scientific language,” program participant Cristina Avila, from the Autonomous University of Coahuila, said.
“I think this is an advantage when I go back to Mexico. I will have the ability
to communicate scientifically with professors or researchers.”
