Sample Schedule (2014)
Research InternshipsChemistry (CHE) 199 -- Special Study for Advanced Undergraduates (1-5 units, P/NP grading only). Prerequisite: consent of instructor based upon adequate preparation in chemistry, mathematics, and physics. • Each student researcher will have dual faculty mentors, one from AST and one from UC Davis. • Each participant will also be assigned to a researcher from AST to help oversee their research project and
provide on-going on-site support and direction. • In order to maximize student success, research projects will be designed and planned in joint collaboration
between AST and UC Davis faculty prior to departure. During Winter Quarter, UC Davis students may be required to spend between 3-12 hours working with their designated UC Davis faculty mentor on the scope, design, and goals of the research experience. If they choose, students may enroll in 1-4 units of 198/9 credit in the Winter quarter prior to departure with faculty consent.
• Faculty mentors will ideally be approving the research plan on or before March 1. • Participating students will be encouraged to receive Transcript Notation (TN) for both Winter and Spring
research activities, acknowledging successful research including project planning in addition to implementation.
• Students who intend to earn CHE 99/199 units while abroad must secure faculty mentorship and prepare a research project plan during Winter quarter. Meet with the Chemistry major adviser for the full listing of participating faculty and for further instructions for obtaining Winter and Spring CHE 99/199 CRNs as early as mid-November.
Past Participant Research Examples:
Student 1: My research involved using compounds isolated from plants to treat cancer. 3 units.
Student 2: My research was focused on cardiovascular disease. 2 units.
Student 3: My research was on synthesis of sugars. 3 units.
Student 4: I did research in organic synthesis, synthesizing the building blocks of what would later become glyco-lipids. 3 units.
Student 5: I did a research on glycogenomics looking for sugar residues on a chain of polypeptides. I learned mainly the procedures of isolating the sugar outside the proteins and how to isolate them. 3 units.
