The Center for Authentic Science
Practice in Education (CASPiE) is a multi-institutional
collaborative effort designed to address major barriers to
providing research experiences to younger undergraduate science
students.
Our Goals
CASPiE will take advantage of the complementary strengths
and needs of its different partner institutions to develop
a program that will:
1. Provide first and second year students with access to research
experiences as part of the mainstream curriculum. Go to: Course
Materials
2. Create a collaborative, “research group” environment
for students in the laboratory. Go to: PLTL
3. Provide access to advanced instrumentation for all members
of the collaborative to be used for undergraduate research
experiences. Go to: Instrument
Network
4. Help PUI faculty develop research projects so that their
own research capacity is enhanced and the students at these
institutions can participate in this research. Go to: Partners
5. Create a research experience that is engaging for women
and ethnic minorities and appropriate for use at various types
of institutions, including those with diverse populations.
