Background

Even from the early beginnings of Tecnológico de Monterrey's research initiatives, it has been clear that it is critical to involve undergraduate students in these efforts to provide new knowledge and innovation for the field of science, and for the community.

This program combines all the different institutional structures through which students can impact the current and future research of our university, with the goal of facilitating the integration of a larger number of students into existing and new projects, and to increase multidisciplinary collaboration between them.

The program includes students from the different majors within the TEC educational offer, including all programs in Engineering, Health, Business, Social Sciences, Creative Studies and Built Environment.

Objective

Through a future-centered analysis of current problems, a growing knowledge of the world's current connectivity technologies, a strong conviction for generating social impact, and the insatiable drive which characterizes our young students, undergraduates in Tecnológico de Monterrey nurture and increase the impact of scientific research within our university's laboratories, all around the country.

This program seeks to identify and channel the research abilities of young students, long before they enroll in graduate studies, to provide early preparation in their path to becoming the Mexican researchers of the future, both within our country and at an international level.

Reach Out

In addition to being part of research projects and programs, students have the chance of undergoing international experiences which will help him increase the impact of his scientific work, and that of Tecnológico de Monterrey, both during his studies and in his future career.

Participation in this program includes:

• Being part of cutting-edge research projects.
• National and international projects.
• Scientific Publication opportunities in both conferences and journals.
• Professional development focused on scientific and R&D industries.
• Possibility of obtaining credits with equivalence in the undergraduate curriculum.
• Possibility of obtaining certifications and diplomas beyond those offered by the undergraduate curriculum.

- The importance of doing research in the early stages of undergraduate college education.

Research is the intellectual activity of creating new knowledge. Skills and competences which are promoted through this cognitive activity cover multiple and diverse dimensions. Critical thinking is one of the most important skills developed through a formation in research. Internalizing and thoroughly understanding concepts written and described by someone else, and how they relate with different topics and subjects of research, is a skill which is critical to an up-and-coming researcher, as well as to professionals in any area of expertise. Questioning the validity of information and sources, their scope and limitations, their universe of applicability, etc; this is key to a better development of scientific and business activities.

Through the application of the scientific method -in which hypotheses are formulated from the beginning and then tested and confirmed- young student-researchers must also develop the creative and intellectual prowess to perform educated guesses and then propose the correct experiments to confirm or reject their conjectures. Working on these abilities and skills during the early stages of college education is an excellent way to mold the student into his best possible professional persona, so that he can face realities which contain more questions than answers. It also prepares him to answer them in data-driven and systematic ways, through an educated understanding of phenomena and basic science.

Laboratory work, experimental design, project planning and management, and analysis of obtained results, as well as proper and formal writing reports that will effectively communicate knowledge and processes to others, are abilities that we actively seek to develop and instill in students within our Undergraduate Research Program, for both their present research activities and their future professional work.
