Most people who do scientific research are graduate students, so what is the significance of undergraduate students doing these scientific research projects?
1, see if you are suitable for scientific research and direction. 20 19 The number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination reached a record high, and the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination will probably exceed 4 million in 2020. So many people want to take the postgraduate exam, how many people really love and are suitable for scientific research? Some students are for better employment, and some students may follow the crowd to take the postgraduate entrance examination. After I was admitted to the university and started my life as a graduate student, I realized that this was not the life I wanted, and it was different from my imagined life as a graduate student. I am not suitable for scientific research, which leads to the unhappy life of graduate students and the failure to make scientific research results, which even seriously affects graduation. So how to reduce this probability? The best way is to contact scientific research in advance. In the process of contacting scientific research in advance, follow the teacher to do the project and see if you are scientific research material. If not, there is no need to continue doing scientific research; If so, you can use this early contact time to find a direction that suits your interests and continue your research at the postgraduate level.
2. Cultivate scientific research ability in advance. This is based on the above point. If you find yourself suitable for scientific research, you can cultivate your scientific research ability in advance by doing scientific research projects during your undergraduate period. Generally speaking, the scientific research projects done by undergraduates are slightly different from those done by graduate students, and the requirements will be reduced, but the process of doing the projects is not much different from the required abilities. Whether you follow the teacher to do the project, or apply for the project yourself, or participate in internet plus, Youth Creation, Challenge Cup and other competitions, as long as you finish it carefully, your ability will be greatly improved, which will play a certain role in future scientific research.
3. Comprehensive application of subject knowledge and optimization of thinking mode. Doing scientific research is different from studying at school. Studying at school only needs to master the knowledge of several courses you are studying. There are few cases of cross-cutting between courses, and even less cases of cross-cutting and integration with other disciplines. But doing scientific research is different. Doing scientific research requires comprehensive use of a variety of knowledge, comprehensive use of what you have learned, and even what you don't have, which urges you to learn. In the process of doing scientific research, not only the professional field has been improved, but also the self-study ability has been gradually developed. In addition, the process of doing scientific research is also the process of shaping the way of thinking. By doing scientific research in advance, we can optimize our way of thinking and make our way of thinking more reasonable.
4. Beautify your resume. After that, an excellent scientific research experience will add a lot of points to your resume, whether you are working or continuing to study. When applying for foreign universities, besides GPA and English scores, whether there are scientific research achievements is also an important criterion. When interviewing domestic graduate students, if you can come up with scientific research experience and achievements that others don't have, it will definitely add a lot to the interview. After all, what teachers want is students who can adapt to graduate life quickly. Scientific research experience is also helpful for later job hunting. Although the role of scientific research experience can not be directly reflected in job hunting, rich scientific research experience reflects the excellent qualities of this person, such as being serious, reliable, diligent and practical, which will make the road to job hunting smoother.
5. Evaluate first. To put it utilitarian, scientific research competition is an important reference standard for most schools to evaluate Excellence. When doing scientific research projects during the undergraduate period, if you are doing pure scientific research projects, you will have a certificate of completion and articles will be published. Both of them can enjoy the bonus policy when evaluating the best. If you do scientific research projects such as internet plus, Creating Youth and Challenging Cup, you can not only get the corresponding certificates, but also publish papers, transform patent applications and other achievements, which is also conducive to evaluation.
