Abstract
Undergraduate research is an important part of the curriculum in many geology departments but, in recent years, it has become more difficult to attract students into projects dealing with solid-earth studies due to the limited employment prospects in these areas compared to those in environmental geology. This report describes how petrologic research can be made more attractive to students by an approach using C programming to model crystal growth and fabric development in polycrystalline solids. This topic has broad appeal to students in the other sciences as well as geology, and the computer skills learned have wide practical utility in today's job market.
