Abstract

This Handbook was developed by the multi-disciplinary Undergraduate Research Committee (URC) at New York City College of Technology (City Tech) of The City University of New York (CUNY). The URC provides unique opportunities for students to participate in authentic research experiences with trained faculty mentors. Committee members themselves are trained mentors who are actively engaged in interdisciplinary and disciplinary research that spans the fields of anthropology, architecture, astronomy, biology, chemistry, communication design, engineering, health sciences, history, literature, management, mathematics, philosophy, physics, psychology, robotics, sociology, and theater.

Additional information about this and the first edition of the Handbook can be found on City Tech's OpenLab site for Undergraduate Research.
