      "description": "This course is designed for students intending to explore careers as researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Students learn how to apply and prepare themselves for undergraduate research opportunities by developing their resumes/curricula vitae, learning how to read research papers, and writing and presenting their research. Students also learn how to fund their research through research experiences for undergraduates (REU) and scholarships. Completion of these activities provides students with a competitive application for transfer and REUs. The course is offered on a pass/no pass basis.",
