Service: Mission Statement

The goal of PirateSpaceCamp is inherit from the rich to give to the poor. Thus we plan to increase our pirate booty by mining the asteroids of the net through click throughs, and use our new found potlatch to create webspaces for charities and other organizations.

Education thru RTFM

RTFM: Research Teams: Fundamentals and Management
Empowering undergraduates in research

The Research Teams: Fundamentals and Management (RTFM) courses provide undergraduate students with an opportunity to participate in and contribute to their research community in a peer-oriented educational setting. The educational motivation is based on the notion that one learns best when directly engaged in experimentation and reflection. The research motivation and course topic varies with each seminar.

Research and the UGRT

The Boyer Report notes that exposing undergraduates to academic research, acquaints them to the notion and nature of graduate school. Vast numbers of internships allow students to acquire first-hand knowledge of industry. In academia however, the scarcity of research opportunities hinders most students from gaining similar experiences. The Undergraduate Research Team provides students with two types of academic internships. Students can choose Research Education for Undergraduates projects, in which they assist with experimental research and software development. Students may also participate in research related activities for course credit.
