The SMART program focuses on the development of research skills and the faculty mentor/student relationship. During the first week, interns write a research project proposal. In the next eight weeks they carry out the proposed project. In the final week they present their research results in oral and written form. Depending on the academic area, the conduct of research may include laboratory experimentation, outdoor field work and data analysis. Students work either as part of a research team or independently.

Other activities in the SMART program prepare SMART interns for graduate studies. These include:

• Workshops devoted to technical writing and oral presentation skills
• Workshops on selecting graduate programs and the application process for graduate school
