Abstract
At many primarily undergraduate institutions, and some PhD-granting universities, science and engineering faculty are expected to provide research experiences for undergraduates. One of the biggest challenges for faculty who supervise undergraduate research is preparing students to work productively with some degree of independence. In addition to having familiarity with relevant physical concepts and measurement methods, students must know how to use lab equipment safely, responsibly, and effectively. While required lab courses in typical physics and engineering departments expose students to general laboratory skills and measurement techniques, they do not typically include specialized equipment and methods used in acoustics research. This presentation will describe how an upper-division undergraduate course in acoustics can be designed to prepare students for a productive independent research experience in this field. Examples will be drawn from courses offered at Central Washington University and Brigham Young University.
