Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

For the past five years, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University–Daytona Beach’s Office of Undergraduate Research has benefited from the support, visibility, and engagement of key university stakeholders due largely to its participation in a Quality Enhancement Plan for university accreditation. Driving broader participation in student-led, university-funded research, faculty-supported curricular assessment, and the publication of the undergraduate research journal Beyond, accreditation has provided a strong foundation for OUR. The ending of the QEP provides an opportunity for reflection and planning for continual growth. This session will explore the non–accreditation-based assessment and strategic planning used by the team to create the next phase of undergraduate research.
