We have developed a new introductory physics\/chemistry programme that teaches advanced science
\ntopics and practical laboratory skills to freshmen undergraduate students through the use of
\nstudent-led, bona fide research activities. While many recent attempts to improve college-level
\nphysics education have focused on integrating interactive demonstrations and activities into
\ntraditional passive lectures, we have taken the idea of active-learning several steps further.
\nWorking in conjunction with several research faculty at Binghamton University, we have created a
\nprogramme that puts undergraduate students on an accelerated path towards working in real research
\nlaboratories performing publishable research. Herein, we describe in detail the programme goals,
\nstructure, and educational content, and report on our promising initial student outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
