How do undergraduate students come to see themselves as researchers? What shapes their experiences, builds their confidence, and helps them navigate challenges? Rooted in social and data sciences, the Research/Research VIP Team analyzes student experiences using multi- andmixed-methods approaches. In addition to addressing questions about undergraduate research experiences, our student team works to better understand, test, and propose best practices for the useof artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance traditional qualitative research methods. Team members will develop hands on skills in qualitative, mixed-methods research, and data analysis using AI and machine learning techniques.
