In STEM class, we are guided through the process of conducting original research. We started by learning what research actually is and learning how to interact with scientific literature through reading and analyzing several papers. This class is a chance for each of us to explore a question or solve a problem that we are passionate about. Through the experience of going through this class, we gain experience and confidence in conducting independent research and writing scientific literature. In addition to the scientific and engineering skills that we gain, we also improve our analytical thinking and effective communicating skills, both verbally and written.
