Through initiatives like the Carleton University Research Opportunity Program (CUROP), the Students as Partners Program (SaPP), and independent fourth-year research projects, students explore new frontiers and shape their academic journeys. Across Arts and Social Sciences programs, research labs welcome undergraduate participation, offering collaboration with graduate researchers and faculty. These experiences can lead to co-authored publications, expanded professional networks, and valuable preparation for graduate studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"riveting-research-labs\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Riveting Research Labs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There are research labs across the Arts and Social Sciences that accept undergraduate student participation.

The project combined surveys, interviews and ethnographic research methods to gain comprehensive user experience (UX) insights into how riding public transit shapes students\u2019 conceptions of place and time. Through her project, she explored her interest in walkable cities and championed the voices and perspectives of university students when it comes to urban planning and infrastructure decision-making in Ottawa. Throughout her degree, Paula completed three Co-op terms with a UX focus (one with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nokia.com\/about-us\/careers\/our-locations\/canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nokia<\/a>, the other two with the federal government).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-7xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    <div class=\"cu-testimonial md:py-8\">\n        <div class=\"bg-cu-black-50 rounded-xl\">\n            <div class=\"flex flex-col-reverse md:pl-8 md:pr-12 md:flex-row items-center gap-5 mx-auto max-w-7xl md:gap-10 lg:gap-16 md:items-stretch\">\n                <div class=\"w-full md:-my-8 hidden md:block md:flex-[0_0_30%] bg-cu-black-25 rounded-lg bg-cover\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/09\/Nikki-Ermuth-600x400.jpg); background-position: 44% 32%; transform: scale(1);\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"w-full px-6 py-6 md:max-w-none md:flex-auto md:px-0 md:py-16 lg:py-20\">\n\n                                            \n<div class=\"not-prose cu-quote cu-component-spacing\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-quote-graphic is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As a student learning online during the pandemic, I noticed how challenging it could be to learn new words, understand their meanings and incorporate them into my vocabulary. Through the Carleton University Research Opportunity Program (CUROP), I investigated these issues systemically by looking at the effects of different amounts of interaction on the ease and accuracy of word learning. Through my research project titled \u201cWhen Learning New Words, What is the Importance of Interaction?\u201d I learned about the types of research questions and experimental methods used in linguistics, which helped me refine my research question and sharpen my skills for my Honours Thesis.<\/p>\n<cite>&#8211; Nikki Ermuth, <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/programs\/cognitive-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cognitive Science<\/a> student, project in <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/programs\/linguistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Linguistics<\/a>&nbsp;<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n                    \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"angela-mortimer-history-graduate\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Angela Mortimer, History Graduate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the Students as Partners Program, History student Angela Mortimer, <a href=\"https:\/\/ingeniumcanada.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ingenium&#8217;s<\/a> Curator of Communication Technologies Tom Everrett, and <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/people\/james-opp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professor James Opp<\/a> co-designed a <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/2024\/decoding-the-decades-looking-at-canada-in-the-1980s-in-new-object-based-history-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">course about the material history of the 1980s<\/a>, which included a visit to Ingenium&#8217;s collection storage facility to get up close with some signature objects that defined a generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/09\/AEC_5658-scaled-1-512x341.jpg\" alt=\"Angela Mortimer holds original Sony Walkman packaging, and Professor James Opp holds his own cassette tapes from the 1980s.

I used some of the funding to spend the summer in Malta so I could visit archives and libraries there. It was a great chance learn a bit more about the ins-and-outs of academic research, which really helped to prepare me for graduate school. As a first-generation student, this opportunity has continued to benefit me and I would absolutely encourage all research-oriented undergraduate students to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<cite>&#8211; Ni\u0121el Klemen\u010di\u010d-Puglisevich, <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/programs\/history\/\">History<\/a> graduate&nbsp;<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n                    \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences helps facilitate a range of research opportunities for undergraduate students.
