HHPS: Undergraduate Research
Student research projects use scientific methodology to answer a salient research question and involve a review of literature, developing a unique research question, designing a study to answer the research question, recruiting and scheduling subjects for the study, collecting and analyzing data, and submitting an abstract for peer-review as well as developing a research poster for presentation. The goals of the research projects are to:
1. Promote student learning through critical thinking and active learning.
2. Develop competency using a variety of laboratory methods.
3. Develop an understanding and appreciation for the research process.
4. Encourage strong students with an interest in research to pursue graduate work in science related graduate programs.
5. Provide regional visibility for the Department of Health, Human Performance, and Sport as well as Wayne State College.
Under the direction and guidance
of faculty in the Department of Health, Human Performance,
and Sport, students are encouraged to collaborate
with peers on a research project with the aim to present
the results at a regional and/or national sports medicine
meeting. This has been an ongoing activity among faculty
and students in the Department of HHPS for the past
10 years and our students have received numerous awards
and accolades in the process.
