Why should we do research!!!!!!!!

The term research refers to scholarly or creative activity that contributes to human knowledge through methods established by particular academic disciplines. Undergraduate research involves an educational collaboration between students and faculty members. An undergraduate research experience may be initiated by a student who seeks out faculty supervision or by a faculty member who involves undergraduate students in her or his research team.
