An extra special “Thank You!” to our panel of presentation judges! 20TH UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 2018 Welcome! At this 20th Undergraduate Research Symposium at the University of South Alabama, we gather to celebrate the efforts and achievements of 80 budding scholars. Whether you join us as a proud mentor or parent, a curious student or faculty member, or a University administrator or other guest, I know you will be impressed with all that these outstanding student researchers have accomplished. The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) seeks to promote scholarly and creative activity at the undergraduate level, and to thereby enhance critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and communication. In doing so, we take pride in our foundational role in developing the scholars and scientists of tomorrow. Our work would be empty, though, without the tremendous commitment of the faculty mentors who not only foster the progress of the research projects but also nurture the undergraduate researchers in their scholarly development. We are grateful for the generous sponsorship of the Alabama Space Grant Consortium, the Academic Affairs Office, and individual colleges and departments. We also express our appreciation to the members of the University Committee on Undergraduate Research especially for their time and insight in support of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. Dr. Christy Wheeler West Director, Office of Undergraduate Research 20TH UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 2018 Dear Friends and Colleagues: Welcome to the Office of Undergraduate Research’s 20th Undergraduate Research Symposium. Undergraduate research has been identified as a “high impact practice” in American higher education. Research has shown that students who participate in research under the guidance of faculty benefit greatly from the experience. They are more likely to earn their undergraduate degree in a timely manner, they learn more advanced skills, and their career prospects are enhanced. We are very proud of the undergraduate research program at South Alabama and feel that it is one of key assets that make USA a great university. Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) students get the opportunity to work with talented faculty, using state-of-the-art research instrumentation, and contribute to the discovery of new knowledge. These students have excelled at their studies, have already accomplished much, and we expect great things from them in the future. Thank you for joining us today, and please enjoy the Symposium. Dr. G. David Johnson Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs 20TH UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 2018 Welcome to the Undergraduate Research Symposium. Research is, in part, about learning more and more about less and less. A willingness to do this is what sets all of you apart from the vast majority of people who are quite content to merely accept the benefits and influence of “magic” on their lives. When they use their smartphone for example, it is for them, magic. They accept there are mysterious forces beyond their understanding that daily conjures phenomena indispensable to their very existence. But this magic is only possible because someone like you was willing to learn a great deal about a very specific aspect of say, the physics of electromagnetic waves. It is with this knowledge and the sudden clarity of understanding that the real magic occurs, the magic of discovery. We recognize and applaud the long hours you spent to fully understand the sometimes incomprehensible minutia that, in the larger progression of humanity, enables the magic of science. Thank you for joining us today, and enjoy the Symposium!
