Description
All departmental ScM students spend one to three terms, respectively, participating in the research activities of departmental faculty's laboratories. Students select appropriate rotations in consultation with their academic advisor and the ScM Program Director. The objective is to provide the opportunity for interaction with several faculty members, so that a thesis laboratory may be identified. The course aims to broaden a student's knowledge of laboratory techniques and skills, expose the student to a variety of research areas and to develop the ability to carry out a research project.
