Course Content This course intends to develop an experimental or theoretical based research
project in an interdisciplinary environment, providing preliminary
experience with focus on good scientific principles, value to society, and
innovation. Students will undertake either an independent or team based
research project under the supervision of a faculty advisor by using
fundamental molecular biology and genetics principles, knowledge, and skills
that they acquired during their undergraduate program. The project must
include methods, results, evaluation, interpretation and discussion of the
scientific data. The project will be presented at the end of the semester in a
report written by the student.
